You may have seen in the news today that a further 1.3 million patients will now be added to the ‘shielding’ list. This will mean that these patients will be vaccinated against Covid as a matter of priority. The Department of Health and Social Care will write to patients about what shielding will mean for them and those patients will be contacted direct to be called for their Covid vaccine.
We are currently receiving a very high number of calls about this. Please could we ask patients who think they may be added to the shielding list to avoid ringing the surgery about this matter as, unfortunately, we do not know when you will receive your letter from the government or when you will be called for your Covid vaccination.
More information is available on the government website here
Stay safe.
