Covid eligibility

"Covid eligibility"

About: Adult Health & Support Services / Vaccinations Service

(as the patient),

My husband attended a clinic to receive his covid jab, only to be advised he is not eligible. Why is it then that the NHS inform site let him book this?

Dear Gwal,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

I’m sorry for the confusion and inconvenience your husband experienced at his appointment. Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations are offered through the same booking system and are normally co-administered at the same time for those who are eligible. Because of this, the system does not flag differences in eligibility between the two vaccines when appointments are made.

Best Wishes

Tobias Tipper, General Manager
