COVID VACCINATION UPDATE
18th June, 2021We are now inviting patients aged 25yrs and over for a covid vaccine – if you haven’t received a text message, it may mean we haven’t got the correct mobile number on your medical record. If this is the case please contact us and let us know.
You can book your covid vacc appointment via the online facility as per text or alternatively ring 01942 807780
We are speaking to a lot of people who have coughs / fevers who are telling us that they do not have COVID because they have done a lateral flow test.
The lateral flow tests are designed to be used in those people WITHOUT symptoms (ie all our staff check themselves twice a week)
If you do have COVID-19 symptoms, please DO NOT rely on a negative lateral flow test – instead you MUST book a PCR test and self isolate until the results are back.
The link below gives you details of how to do this . Currently tests can be booked very quickly (ie on the same day), or postal tests can be requested.
We have seen patients with negative lateral flow tests who have symptoms and then have a positive PCR test – if these people were not isolating then they risk spreading COVID-19
We are doing so well with vaccines locally, so if we stick to the symptom / isolation / test rules above we can really help limit spread further whilst we get more and more people vaccinated.
