We have made great progress in vaccinating our most vulnerable patients and we are now moving to the next two priority groups.If you are aged 70 or over and have not yet been vaccinated, please contact the practice directly.
Priority Group 5:
- People aged 65 and over
Priority Group 6:
- People aged 16 and over with certain underlying health conditions, details of which can be found on the “COVID-19 vaccination first phase priority groups” page on the Gov.uk website.
- Carers who care for someone who is at increased risk of COVID-19 mortality and therefore clinically vulnerable. Many of these will be known to GPs and local authorities. More information is expected soon to clarify further.
The number of patients in these groups is much larger than those we have done so far, and we will shortly begin offering second doses to people 11-12 weeks after their first dose.
Please be patient with us, we are working as fast as we can as supplies of the vaccine are delivered to us.
Everyone will be vaccinated eventually and we will contact you if you are in one of the groups listed above but it could take us a few weeks to get through this next group and we want to prioritise those at highest risk.
Please do not call the practice to check when you will get the vaccine. We need to keep phone lines open for those patients who are ill and need to talk to a GP.
We will update this information regularly and you can find more information:
