If you're over 70 and haven't yet been vaccinated, you can now contact the NHS to book an appointment for your first dose. You don’t need to wait for a letter.
You can book appointments online by clicking here, or you can call 119 free of charge between 7am and 11pm.
If a suitable and convenient slot is not available, you can also call your GP practice.
Many who have not yet booked an appointment are already receiving follow up letters and phone calls this week to encourage them to take up the offer of a jab.
GP teams have also been asked to contact their clinically extremely vulnerable patients, who have been asked to shield, to ensure they have been offered the vaccine.
As ever, if you need my assistance or have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
