Seasonal vaccinations

Appointments remain available to book for the seasonal flu, and if eligible, we would encourage you to book at your earliest convenience, as cases are rising. Covid booster vaccines are no longer available at Kensington, but are available elsewhere.

Appointments for your flu vaccine remain available at Donegall Road and Finaghy.

Our Covid vaccination has concluded, but these remain available elsewhere if eligible: click the link below.

If considering getting your vaccine at a community pharmacy, we suggest contacting them ahead of making a journey, to check their arrangements and if these are available.

Who is eligible for Covid vaccine this autumn?

This year’s autumn booster is more narrowly targeted at the very highest-risk groups—specifically older adults (75+), care home residents, and the immunosuppressed—whereas last year’s programme extended to a wider swath of the clinically vulnerable (65–74, clinical risk groups) and some health and social care staff.

Please book online if you can, to ease pressure on our phones; or call 02890 325679.

Please do not book if you are not eligible, as we won't be able to give you a vaccine if you attend.
