Dear Patients,

We are excited to share the news that Walsh Medical Practice will be administering the Autumn Booster vaccines for Flu and COVID-19 on Saturday, October 7, 2023. As healthcare professionals who value the well-being of our community, we recognize the importance of providing protection against these viruses. Our medical team has extensive experience in providing vaccinations, and we stand behind the efficacy of these vaccines. We strongly encourage all eligible patients to attend and receive their booster shots.

If you are above 50 years old or over 18 and immunosuppressed, you are eligible for the booster vaccine if it has been at least five months since your last dose. For all other patients aged between 18 and 49 years old, at least nine months must have elapsed to receive the booster vaccine. We adhere to the National Immunisation Advisory Committee’s guidelines, and receiving both flu and COVID-19 vaccines simultaneously is safe.

COVID-19 is still affecting our community, and prioritizing your health and well-being is of the utmost importance. Getting vaccinated is an excellent way to safeguard yourself and those around you, and we are committed to ensuring you receive the best possible care.

Sincerely,

The Walsh Medical Practice Team
