The jabs are being carried out Fordingbridge Hospital, which is based next door, where a vaccination centre has been set up.
SHOULD I CONTACT THEM ABOUT A VACCINE?
Any patients with Fordingbridge Surgery are being asked to not contact them about getting a jab and to be patient.
Those over 80 will be given the jab first in line with government guidelines.
Here is the latest update and advice from the surgery:
- Our area will be getting a limited amount of vaccine in the next few weeks.
- We have to follow strict government guidelines which tell us which group of patients to vaccinate first.
- We will contact you if you are eligible for a vaccine when we know what date the vaccine is available for you.
- It is essential, if you are given a vaccine, that you return for the second part of the vaccination on the date that you are advised to.
- Please do not telephone us to ask when or if you are going to get a Covid Vaccine. We will contact you individually if and when you are invited to have one and will keep this website updated with as much information as we can.
- We have many patients to vaccinate so we ask for your patience as we work through this vaccination programme which will last well into 2021.
