Staff Flu and COVID Vaccination
Get doubly protected this winter!
Staff flu and COVID-19 booster vaccination sessions
COVID cases are on the rise again locally and we are expecting a bad flu season, so it's never been more important to get yourself protected ahead of the winter – for you, for your family, for your colleagues and for our patients.
Our flu and COVID-19 vaccination sessions for ALL staff to allow you to get your flu vaccine and COVID booster at the same time in the same place.

Forthcoming sessions:
Last Session! – Wednesday, 8 February, 2pm to 5.30pm, Medical Outpatients
You will have the opportunity to receive both the flu and COVID-19 booster vaccines, or just one of them. It is safe to have both vaccines on the same day.
Any member of staff can attend (clinical and non-clinical) and you do not need to book.
The vaccination team will do their best to vaccinate everyone in the queue, but there is a chance this may not be possible if demand outweighs the supply on the day. Please be understanding and patient with the staff running the session.
Please note the following:
- If you have had COVID-19 recently, you cannot have a COVID vaccination until 28 days after your first positive test for COVID-19
- The COVID booster we are giving is for staff aged 18 and over only
- These clinics are for booster vaccinations and not for the delivery of 1st or 2nd doses of the COVID-19 vaccine
- The flu jab we are giving is for staff aged 18-65 years old
You will need to bring:
- Your staff ID badge
- Your NHS number (you can find your number on the NHS App)
- A face covering
- And please dress appropriately so you can lift your sleeve easily to be vaccinated
A one-way system will be in place and volunteers will be directing you.
If you cannot make these dates, please don't worry – we will be offering more COVID booster and flu vaccine clinics over the coming weeks. We will also be running clinics for anyone who has not already had a first or second dose of the COVID vaccine.
Frontline health workers and those with long-term health conditions can also book a COVID-19 vaccination online via the national booking system for other vaccination centres.
Having the flu and COVID-19 vaccines are two of the most important things we can all do to keep ourselves and others safe this winter. More information about COVID-19 and flu vaccines is available online:
External Vaccination and Opt Out Form
If you have had your flu or COVID vaccination elsewhere (eg. GP clinic, community vaccination centre) please fill in this form and send it to the HR team so we can add you to our figures.
We would also appreciate you filling out this form if you do not wish to have a flu or COVID vaccination so we can understand why some staff are opting out.
