The Southam COVID vaccination programme has been really successful to date, with at least 91.7% of our patients aged over 70 now vaccinated. This has been a huge effort by all but a significant thank you goes to the South Warwickshire GP Federation, the volunteers and our patients who were often called at short notice, even in the snow! Well done to all!
The vaccination programme is therefore on track to meet the government target of vaccinating those in priority groups 1-4 by mid-February (that is those individuals 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable). There is a temporary lull at present as we await further supplies of vaccine, but patients will continue to be contacted as and when the vaccine supply arrives. Therefore it remains that you do not need to do anything, but await contact from the vaccination booking centre.
You may also have also received a national letter inviting you to book a vaccination at a mass vaccination site (our nearest is in Stoneleigh). You are entitled to do so if you have received this invite, but you may also wait to be invited locally if you have not been so already.
Let’s hope we are now a few more steps closer to normality!
