Covid Spring Booster Vaccinations 2025

We have started to book appointments for the Spring Booster Programme please contact reception to see if you are eligible and book your appointment

(Please note: The eligibility criteria for the Spring Booster Campaign are different from those of the Autumn Booster Campaign).
 
Last year, the government revised the criteria for Spring Boosters, limiting eligibility to individuals over 75 years old and those who are immunosuppressed. This means that not everyone who is vulnerable to COVID-19 qualifies for the booster.
 

 

From early April 2025

Stubley Medical Practice will be contacting our

housebound patients and arranging to visit them.

 Appointments at Stubley Medical Practice for eligible children aged 5-17yrs will be available.

These can be booked via the National Booking System through this link below: 

multiple sites may appear when you book via NBS so you can choose Stubley Medical Practice or another site if you wish

 Stubley Medical Prctice have put out dates outside of school hours and on Saturday mornings to be as accessible as possible for this cohort. 

We have been informed that there are some pharmacies in Chesterfield and Dronfield that will also be offering vaccinations for this age group.

These include:

  • Brimington Pharmacy - 54 Church street, Chesterfield, S43 1JG.
  • Saviour Pharmacy (formally John Dents) - 109 Avenue House, Saltergate, Chesterfield, S40 1LE.
  • Saviour Pharmacy - High Street, Dronfield, S18 1PY.

 The appointments for these pharmacies should be live through the link above soon (I believe patients can also call the pharmacies to book as well). Patients can choose which site they want to visit so there are a few options in Chesterfield and Dronfield

Covid Restriction Update – July 2021

Throughout the pandemic here at Oakhill we have strived to keep our patients and staff as safe as possible and we will continue to do so moving forward.

From the 19th July 2021 nothing will change at the surgery, we will still require you to wear a face covering, adhere to social distancing and use the hand sanitiser provided.  Clinical staff will also still be wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).  This can be frustrating to some patients who maybe attending for routine appointments but other patients are sick and clinically vulnerable, so we need to take precautions to protect all patients.

As you are aware here at Oakhill we have never been 'shut' throughout the pandemic and continue to provide a service to our patients.

Thank you for your co-operation.

From all the partners at Oakhill.

Mental Wellbeing During Covid-19

COVID-19 means we are all experiencing an unprecedented situation. Everyone reacts differently, and we will have periods where we find it more difficult to deal with. It’s okay not to feel okay. Talking to someone can often help.

Visit NHS Every Mind Matters for advice, practice advice and support groups.

If you cannot wait to see a doctor and feel unable to cope or keep yourself safe, it’s important to get support.
