CORONAVIRUS VACCINATIONS
Following extensive trials, two safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines has been approved in the UK and are now available to priority groups.
Vaccinations are being delivered according to priority groups identified by the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The vaccinations may not take place at your GP practice, but rather a local vaccination service (led by GPs, practice nurses and community pharmacists) who are responsible for delivering the vaccine to people in your community.
When it is the right time for you to receive your vaccination, you will receive an invitation to come forward. This may be via the phone, or through a letter either from your GP or the national booking system. PLEASE WAIT TO BE CONTACTED, WE WILL BE IN TOUCH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you have any queries, please contact this surgery and not the vaccination host site.
Please note that there has recently been a change in JCVI advice, and it is now recommended that the second vaccine is delayed and given 11 - 12 weeks after the first. This advice may have changed after your first vaccine appointment was booked, so we apologise for any confusion.
