Unity Health

Please note that people in the 50-64-year old age group will not be vaccinated until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccine, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first.  If you are 50-64 and you are in one of the other groups which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu, you will be invited earlier.

              *UPDATE*

As per guidance, Unity Health will only be seeing essential face to face patients due to the COVID-19 outbreak. All pre booked appointments will be converted to telephone appointments. DO NOT come to the surgery under any circumstances unless for warfarin testing/childhood immunisations or if a GP at Unity Health has told you otherwise.

The NHS in York and Public Health England (PHE) are well prepared for outbreaks of new
