COVID Vaccine updates can be found on our COVID Information page or the via yellow ribbon at the top of the page.
COVID Vaccination second dose - if you have had your first COVID vaccination, you will be contacted by the vaccination centre to arrange a date for your second dose. Please be patient and do not ring the surgery as we cannot tell you when this appointment will be. It is dependant on vaccine delivery so we do not know any more than you at present. If you haven't been contacted and are eleven weeks after your first dose, then please do contact the surgery. Before this, please wait to be called.
Eligible patients may have received a text message inviting them to book their COVID vaccination. Please be reassured that this is genuine and click on the link to book. The text will look like this.
You may also receive a reminder text which may come from North Sedgemoor PCN.
