COVID-19

Spring Booster 2023

We are in the process of organising our spring covid 19 booster campaign as per the Joint Comitee on Vaccination and Immunisation guidance for eligible cohorts.
 
We will begin the campaign the week commencing 3rd April and for the first 3 weeks will be focussing on vaccinating all those eligible residents in care homes and our housebound patients. 
 
Eligible cohorts are all adults aged 75 years and over (before 30th June 2023,) older adults in a care home and individuals aged 5 years and over who are classed as immunosuppressed.
 
We will begin contacting patients shortly by text message, telephone and letter. The easiest way for us to contact you is to send you a link via text message to book yourself in online. If you have a mobile telephone, please ensure we have up to date contact numbers for you.
 
If you have any questions about this vaccination campaign, please email the surgery at ciosicb.rosmellynsurgery@nhs.net. 
 
Please do not telephone the surgery as our receptionists are very busy taking other calls.

We are unable to adminsiter first or second vaccines here at the Surgery. All appointments must be booked via the National Booking Service or by calling 119.

COVID-19 Vaccinations given overseas

From 09/12/21, if you live in England and have had one or more of your COVID-19 vaccinations administered overseas, you can have your vaccination details added to your NHS Record. You can then generate an NHS COVID Pass for domestic use and international travel if you meet certain certification requirements.
 

Eligible vaccines

Patients can use this service if they are aged 18 years old or over, have an NHS number and have had one or more of the following vaccines:

  • Oxford/AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria)
  • Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty)
  • Johnson & Johnson (Janssen)
  • Moderna (Spikevax)

There will remain a small number of countries and territories where this service will not be enabled. However, international COVID-19 certification accepted at the UK border is also accepted at events and venues in England.

Book an appointment to register your overseas vaccination

Click here to book yourself an appointment: Tell the NHS about coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations you've had abroad - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

To register your overseas vaccinations, you’ll need to book an appointment at a selected list of vaccination centres across England. These appointments are not managed by staff at your GP surgery and must by booked by yourself. 

Staff at these vaccinations centres are not able to register your overseas vaccinations unless you book in advance.

Details of your overseas vaccination will then be recorded in the National Immunisation Management System.

Covid Vaccine Proof

Travelling

From 17 May 2021, people in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel.

 A full course is currently two doses of any approved vaccine. Vaccine status will be available from:

•the NHS App which you can download from app stores


•the NHS website


It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified so you can use this service.

If you cannot access the online services, and you have had 2 vaccines, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119. Only call 119 if you are due to travel abroad in the near future and have had your second dose more than 5 working days ago. It may take 7 working days for the letter to arrive.

Rosmellyn Surgery is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status.

When you're planning your travel, check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website.

Make sure there is time to get proof of your vaccination status before you leave.
