The Lighthouse Medical Practice is excited to announce that South Downs Health & Care (SDHC) will once again be giving our eligible patients both the flu vaccine and Covid-19 autumn booster vaccine this year. NHS England have advised that the vaccines should be given together and one appointment for both vaccinations makes this much simpler for you.
SDHC have been responsible for giving the Covid-19 vaccine to our patients since it was first available and we are grateful for their ongoing commitment, which allows us to focus on providing day-to-day medical care for patients. Please do not contact the surgery about your flu or Covid vaccines.
Eligible patients will receive an invitation to book a vaccine appointment via SMS, with clinics being available after 3rd October, as directed by NHS England. Those unable to book an appointment via SMS will be able to phone SDHC from 23rd September to book their appointment on 01323 402530 (please do not call the surgery, as our team are unable to help with any queries).
SDHC will be holding Flu/Covid clinics at various locations in Eastbourne, including:
- Shinewater Sports Centre, Milfoil Drive Eastbourne BN23 8ED
- Langney Shopping Centre, 64 Kingfisher Drive, Eastbourne BN23 7RT
- Hillbrow Health and Wellbeing Centre, 1 Denton Road, Eastbourne BN20 7SR
You will be able to select your location when you book your appointment
2 and 3 year olds and eligible children and young people in an at risk group under the age of 18 will be vaccinated at the Practice and will receive a separate invite from the surgery.
If you are registered as housebound, SDHC will contact you and offer a visit to provide both vaccines.
