From today, we have decided that rather than continuing to call each individual patient who is eligible for a Covid jab, we would like to invite eligible patients to call us up themselves (and therefore remove the risk of us missing you due to an out of date number). Additionally, we have multiple staff off work again (mostly due to covid) and so are struggling to continue to have designated staff sat calling patients all day at the present time as we have done since Christmas. Many have done extra hours every week since then.
So from today, if any of our patients who are over 65 (vaccine group 5) would like to book a vaccination, please contact the surgery, and we can get you booked in over the next 2 weeks or so, for which we should have adequate vaccine supply.
If you know anybody who is eligible and not online then please let them know, we will be advertising this outside the surgery, as well as mentioning to those pts who call/visit in next few weeks. We will also continue (as best we can) to move through our patient lists in age order to ensure noone is missing out, and can confirm we have now booked in approx half of this age group already, so anticipate finishing group 5 by approx end of next week.
Once all our over-65's are complete, we may also take a similar approach for our 'at-risk' patients (group 6) which will be a group loosely similar to those who are normally eligible for a flu jab, though we will confirm this at the time.
Thankyou again for your ongoing support with this programme. If you are struggling to get through on the phones then please use our online contact form and we will get back to you with a date/time for your jab.
