“The Autumn/Winter COVID campaign will run from 1 October 2025 to 31 January 2026. If you are recorded as a housebound patient aged 75 or over, or are recorded as immunosuppressed by the practice, you will be contacted, and we will book your housebound appointment. This may not be at the start of the campaign, but we will contact you before 31 January 2026 to arrange your vaccination. Please don’t worry if you receive a reminder from NHS England before we have contacted you – this is a national message and does not mean you have been missed. Your vaccination needs are held locally within the Somerset system, and you will be contacted before 31 January 2026 to arrange your vaccination. If you would like us to confirm that you are coded as housebound on our system, our staff can check this for you. Thank you for your patience.”
