Welcome to Cale Green Surgery Online
2021/22 Winter Vaccines at Cale Green Surgery
Do not call us about the flu or COVID-19 booster vaccine. Stockport GP practices are offering vaccinations in different ways so that everyone who is eligible can be offered a vaccination. This is dependent upon a variety of factors including practice resources and vaccine availability.
Read the information below to find out how you can get your flu or COVID-19 booster vaccine.
Flu Vaccine: The flu vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine. It's offered every year on the NHS to help protect people at risk of getting seriously ill from flu.
We will contact you directly by letter, phone or text when it is your turn to come for your flu vaccine.
COVID-19 Booster Vaccine: The COVID-19 booster vaccine dose, which is available six months after the second dose, helps improve the protection you have from your first two doses of the vaccine. It helps give you longer-term protection against getting seriously ill from COVID-19. Find out more about the COVID-19 booster vaccine and who can get it.
- We will contact you directly by letter, phone or text when it is your turn to come for the COVID-19 booster vaccine. Until then you don’t need to do anything, but you should continue to follow the hands, face, space guidance, which will still save lives and reduce the risk of infection.
OR
COVID-19 Vaccine First and Second Dose: If you haven’t had a first or second dose yet, it’s not too late. Visit the National Booking Service website or call 119 to book yours.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines are safe and effective. They give you the best protection against COVID-19. It is important you have the vaccine, even if you have had COVID-19 or think you have had the virus, because it will make your immune system stronger and reduce the risk of spreading the virus or having COVID-19 symptoms again.

You have probably heard about a major change to data privacy laws in the UK taking effect from 25th May 2018. The General Data Protection Regulations, known as GDPR, enable you to have more control over how your data is used and how we make contact with you.
We may already have a mobile number recorded for you on our records, obtained at the time you registered with us, or subsequently as part of our routine interaction with you. Within the parameters of this 'implied consent' we will continue to use this number to make contact with you regarding your medical care and to enable you to receive SMS messages from the surgery for appointment reminders or other matters relating to your registration as a patient at the practice. Those contact details will not be divulged to a third party. If you no longer want us to contact you in this way please inform our reception team so that your medical records can be updated. There is nothing that you need to do as unless you notify us differently, your existing contact details will remain on your GP health record for use in this way. It is also important to make sure that you tell us about any changes to your contact details as we will always use the details that we have on your record until we are informed differently.
Our updated policies also explain the following :
- The type of personal information we collect and how we use it
- The legal grounds that exist for using it
- Your rights in relation to the information we hold about you and how you can access it
