Covid Booster programme Posted or Updated on 14 Sep 2023

Our Autumn Covid Booster vaccination programme is now ready to open.

Our designated walk-in vaccination site on Wigan Road, Euxton PR7 6JW, which is next door to Rowlands Pharmacy and opposite the Bay Horse pub, will open its doors on Wednesday, September 20 and will be open from 9am to 5pm from Wednesday to Friday every week. Closed for lunch 1pm-2pm. 

We will also be holding walk-in clinics every Saturday at Buckshaw Surgery when opening times are 9am-Noon and 2pm-5pm. The first date for this clinic is this Saturday, Sep 16. 

Anyone aged 18 and over may attend any of the above clinics as a walk-in and you do not have to be a patient at one of our surgeries.

Our own patients who are in priority categories, such as those aged 65 and over, have certain health conditions and/or are immunosuppressed, have been sent text messages this week inviting them to book a specified time for their jab at one of our vaccination clinics.

All bookings must be made online and if you have received a message, it will contain a link which will enable you to book via the National Booking System. Bookings can also be made by calling 119.

Please be advised that this is the correct procedure so there is no need to contact our surgeries to check if the text link is legitimate.

Those who have pre-booked will be prioritised so there may be a short wait for walk-ins and please note afternoon clinics tend to be quieter so it may be advisable for walk-ins to attend then if you can.

All patients arriving for Booster jabs will also be offered an annual flu jab.
