It comes as Cornwall's vaccination roll-out steams ahead, with the opening of the Duchy's second mass vaccination centre at the Royal Cornwall Showground.
The site near Wadebridge will offer the jab to the most vulnerable from today (Monday 1st February).
People will receive a letter when it is their turn to have the vaccine.
The message is please do not contact the NHS to ask for a vaccine or show up to the showground without an appointment.
"The vaccination centres will add to the fantastic work that GPs and the primary care network have been doing in recent weeks.
"Health and care staff have been working tirelessly to ensure we deliver the vaccine safely and efficiently, and it has been a privilege to work with these people.
"Cornwall has shown great strength in staying home and protecting the NHS these last 12 months, and we ask the public for their continued support in following national guidelines".
NHS Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group Chairman, Iain Chorlton
Officials say that while the addition the vaccination centre means the NHS can expand its rollout, this will take some time, so please be patient. The NHS will be in touch with you when it is your turn.
"I'm delighted to welcome the opening of the second vaccination centre for Cornwall.
"Whilst the vaccine programme continues to roll out, we must keep up with all the good work we have been doing to limit the spread of the virus.
"It's really important that you please continue to limit your contact with other people, even after you have received your vaccine. The vaccine does not mean that you are immune immediately, so we can't start hugging each other just yet, or stop following social distancing guidelines.
"There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but in the meantime, we must keep our guard up".
Cornwall and Isles of Scilly's Director of Public Health, Rachel Wigglesworth
