In the light of the government announcement about shortening the time between first and second doses of the Covid-19 vaccination for those aged 50 and over and others in cohorts 1 – 9 of the JCVI priority list, we are awaiting information on vaccine supply in order to plan clinics. Please don’t contact the practice – we will be in touch with your new appointment date and time if this is needed.. Second doses are effective when administered anytime between 3 and 12 weeks after the first so don’t worry if your second dose appointment is scheduled beyond 8 weeks. This will not affect the protection provided by your vaccination.

Please don’t contact us about COVID vaccine ‘passports’. The volume of calls we are receiving about this is making it difficult to provide services to patients.

You can read more about vaccine ‘passports’ and the new travel regulations here.
