Following extensive trials, Two safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines have been approved in the UK and are being sent out in batches to Practice’s throughout the UK.
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 you are eligible to receive the vaccination, you will receive an invitation to book an appointment, this may be via the phone or SMS text, either from your GP or the national booking system.
We know lots of people will be eager to get protected but we are asking people not to contact us to get an appointment as you will not be able to get one until you are contacted. For further information, please see the following leaflet produced by Public Health England – Public Health England COVID Vaccination leaflet
