COVID-19 Vaccination Update

Our local COVID vaccination programme is due to commence imminently.

As previously reported, we have been told to expect vaccinations to commence next week. This remains the plan but is dependant on the delivery of vaccine arriving. Once a delivery date is confirmed, eligible patients will be contacted directly via telephone or text message from a central booking service (i.e. not from the surgery).

Many thanks for all your patience. For those who are eligible you don’t need to do anything. The central booking service will be in touch with you directly in due course, and invitations will be made over the coming weeks and months as the programme is rolled out to more and more people.

Please visit our COVID page for further regular updates.

In order to keep everyone updated with developments around the COVID-19 vaccination programme we have created a webpage at: https://www.stwulfstan.co.uk/covid19-vaccination

We will update this page regularly with any information available about the local vaccination plan.

The COVID vaccination programme cannot at present be delivered within our local individual practices.

The CCG is in the processes of making arrangements to deliver COVID vaccinations in our area via a central site and we are currently awaiting details, but the CCG have reassured us that they expect vaccinations to commence in the coming weeks. We will keep you posted.

Out of Area Registrations: Temporary Suspension

st wulfstan

In light of the increased demands we are currently facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have decided to temporarily suspend registrations of patients outside of our practice boundary from 7th January 2021. We hope this will be a short term requirement and we will review this again in the coming months.

Therefore at present we can only accept registrations from patients within our Practice Boundary.
