This year's winter vaccination programme will begin on Monday, 7th October.

To begin with, there will be a drop-in clinic at both CRH and HRI, where patient-facing colleagues can get their Covid and flu vaccines until Thursday, 31st October.

Sessions will take place between 08:15 and 17:45 Monday to Friday. There is no need to make an appointment. Just pop into one of the two clinics at a time that suits you. Please take your NHS number and employee/payroll number with you.

The HRI vaccination clinic will be taking place in our Integrated Flow Hub, which used to be the location of our old A&E. The clinic is best accessed from the old walk in entrance on North Drive. Turn left after the main reception.

At CRH the clinic will take place in the old Rainbow Centre. This is now where our Orthopaedics Clinics are based, but the team are kindly allowing us to use two rooms. The Family Room will be clinic waiting area and the Green Room will be the vaccination hub. Both are accessible via the glass corridor entrance to keep disruption to the clinic to a minimum.  

After the 31st October, our peer immunisers will continue offering flu vaccines only back at their wards and departments.
