COVID-19 Vaccination Programme

We ask for your support and patience as we continue to roll out the programme. Please be assured, you will be contacted when it is your turn to be vaccinated. 

In the meantime, we ask that you: 

• Do not contact your GP or the NHS, we will contact you
• When we do contact you, please attend your booked appointments 

Why do I have to wait?

NHS planning is based on the latest information on the vaccine development including which groups will be the priority to get vaccinated early in the programme.  This might mean that smaller numbers of people – who have been prioritised as the most vulnerable – will be vaccinated first, with larger number of people being offered later in the year.  The NHS will follow clinical guidance by DHSC and JCVI on the prioritised people eligible for COVID-19 vaccine and therefore plan for vaccine rollout accordingly.
