 Patient Specific Directions (PSDs)

For patients outside the PGD/protocol criteria, our vaccinators can complete a PSD form during the appointment. Contact details will be taken, and the clinical lead will review within 7–10 days. If no contact is made in that timeframe, patients should follow up with us.

Additional Guidance for Patients

• Fear of needles: Please advise patients to inform vaccination staff in advance.
• Duration of campaign: 1 October 2025 – 31 January 2026 (most vaccinations expected to be completed by 19 December 2025).
• Attending while unwell: Patients with COVID-19 symptoms or a high temperature should wait until recovery before vaccination. Recent recovery from COVID-19 does not require a delay.
