Barrington Medical Centre will not be holding COVID-19 vaccination clinics at the practice this autumn.

The NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme will return in autumn 2026. The NHS will contact patients who are eligible when vaccinations become available.

COVID-19 vaccination eligibility for autumn 2026:

  • adults aged 75 years and over
  • residents in a care home for older adults
  • individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed

Eligibility is the same as for the spring 2026 programme.

Once the autumn programme opens, eligible patients will be able to find details of vaccination and booking options through the NHS website.

Housebound patients

Arrangements for eligible housebound patients will be confirmed once we receive the local autumn vaccination plans.

We will update this page as soon as further information is available.
