COVID Vaccination Update – 12/03/2021
Thurleigh Road Practice – part of the Clapham junction health centre vaccination team
Please be aware we are working our hardest to ensure all patients in groups 1-6 have had the opportunity to have their Covid vaccination at our vaccination hub and as we are sure you are aware this is a huge task to undertake, we have already invited all those in groups 1-6. Any patient within these groups who have not had the vaccine as of yet and now wishes to take up the offer can arrange this through the Covid Vaccination National Service.
Patient in groups 7-8 (Ages 55-64), should have received a letter from the NHS to book your vaccination through the national service. Please ensure you book your appointment by following the instructions in the letter.
Patients in group 9 (Ages 50-54) will start to be invited to our local vaccination hub in the next couple of weeks, invites will mainly go out via text message and you will either receive a text message with how to book (if we have your correct mobile contact details) or we will call you within due course to arrange your vaccination. If you have any further questions regarding the Covid vaccination or having problems booking your vaccination please call the practice after 10am and we will endeavour to deal with your concern as quickly as possible.
