From today, people aged between 65 and 70 and more of the clinically vulnerable will be offered the covid vaccine as the programme is expanded.
People in this age group will be receiving letters inviting them to book an appointment either through the online booking service http://www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or by calling 119. Those who receive a letter can choose from more than 100 large scale vaccination centres or almost 200 pharmacy services. However, if you would rather wait to be called by your GP you do not need to respond to the letter and your GP will be in touch – you may have to wait a bit longer though.
You don’t need to call your GP – they will be in touch with you in due course.

Congratulations to the NHS on reaching the target in offering the vaccine to those in the first four priority groups.
If you are over 70, or extremely clinically vulnerable, and you haven’t received the vaccination please contact 119 or your GP.
