In line with national guidance, we have now opened Covid-19 vaccination booking for people who are identified in JCVI cohort 6. 

This includes: 

• Anyone between the ages of 16 to 65 with underlying health conditions which put them at a higher risk of serious disease or mortality. This is also known as “clinically vulnerable.” Read more about who is eligible here.
• Anyone who is in receipt of carer’s allowance. 

• Anyone who is the main carer of an elderly or disabled person, whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill.  

If you are eligible under one of the above categories, you can book your Covid-19 vaccination appointment by visiting this booking link: https://www.swiftqueue.co.uk/nottinghamc19v-clinv.php or call the local booking line on 0115 883 4640 between 8am – 8pm during weekdays and 9am – 5pm on weekends.  

Younger adults in long-stay in-patient, nursing and residential care settings are also eligible for vaccination under cohort 6 but will be vaccinated by our ‘roving team’ of vaccinators. The roving team will be with in touch with homes directly to book in dates for vaccinations. 

If you are not eligible for vaccination, please do not try to book in for your Covid-19 vaccination appointment. It is important these appointments are protected for those who are now eligible under this cohort to help protect them against Covid-19. 

Letters and texts to those eligible under the criteria, have also been sent to invite them to book for their Covid-19 vaccination. If you are eligible, you do not need to wait for your letter to book in.  

Amanda Sullivan, Accountable Officer at NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG, said: “We are pleased to be able to invite everyone who falls under the cohort 6 group for their Covid-19 vaccination. Locally, there are 100,000 people in this category so this is a huge logistical challenge and our teams are working extremely hard to get those eligible in for vaccination as swiftly as possible. 

“Anyone who is eligible can now book in for their vaccination via the local booking site or by calling 0115 883 4640. I would urge anyone in this category to take up vaccination to help them protect themselves against Covid-19. If you are not eligible, please do not try to book in for vaccination. It is essential that we roll out the vaccination programme in a controlled way, prioritising those in most need of vaccination and following the JCVI guidance.   

“We understand everyone is keen to be vaccinated and would like to provide assurance that this will happen. Please work with us and wait until it is your turn.”
