Coronavirus Vaccinations
You may have seen various Covid vaccinations being announced on the news recently, including the Pfizer vaccine that has been approved today 02/12/2020.
We do not have any vaccines yet so please don’t ring asking for this vaccination.
Currently, Care Home residents and their staff will be vaccinated first, which I hope will happen before Christmas.
GP Practices are being asked to work together to have mass vaccination sites rather than each Surgery working separately – this is due to the very low temperature of the Pfizer vaccination has to be kept at which reduces the number of sites it can be delivered to.
It is likely that after the Care Homes are vaccinated, we will vaccinate by age group starting with 80+ age range, then the 75+ age range, then working downwards. Once I get a more information I will update this web page. We will contact patients when we are ready to take Covid vaccination bookings so there is no need to contact the practice at this stage please

Electronic Isolation Note
People unable to work for more than seven days because of coronavirus (COVID-19) can obtain an isolation note through a new online service.
Isolation notes will provide employees with evidence for their employers that they have been advised to self-isolate due to coronavirus, either because they have symptoms or they live with someone who has symptoms, and so cannot work.
The notes can be accessed through the NHS 111 online.
After answering a few questions, an isolation note will be emailed to the user. This will relieve the pressure on practices having to issue fit notes, if patients contact you asking for a fit note, direct them to https://111.nhs.uk/isolation-note.
