Following extensive trials, 2 safe and effective vaccines for COVID-19 have been approved by regulators and are now being made available to us and are supplied to us in batches each week. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has said that both the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine “give very high protection against severe disease” and both have good safety records. Both vaccines are being used across the county.
The NHS continues to prioritise those that the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) and the government has decided will benefit the most - specifically the over-80s, care home residents and all frontline health and care staff.
When we do contact you, please attend your booked appointments with us.
Everyone at the practice is working extremely hard to make sure people receive their COVID-19 vaccine as quickly as possible. Please be patient with us during this time - we are working hard to vaccinate as quickly as possible using the supplies that we receive.
On days where GPs, nurses and other staff are supporting the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme, some routine appointments may be rescheduled to an alternative day. Urgent GP appointments will still be available, and patients will be seen if it is deemed appropriate.
More COVID-19 vaccination clinics are being made available all the time – everyone who is eligible according to national guidance will receive the vaccine in due course.
Hands, Face, Space remains key – even once people have been vaccinated.
You can get more information about the COVID-19 vaccination online via the NHS website.
As of MONDAY 18 January 2021, the Doctors have decided to revert back to all ‘on the day’ appointments. You will NOT be able to book an appointment in advance with a Doctor. (Nurse and Health Care appointments will still be available to pre-book)
The Doctors have decided to do this in order to provide you with the best possible service during these difficult times and they thank you for your patience whilst trying to achieve this.
We experience a high volume of calls first thing in the morning, which can make it difficult to get through to the surgery so, don’t forget our eConsult facility is still available. Visit our website and click onto Consult our Doctors online.
Thank you.
