Ely PCNs Covid Vaccinations - Weekly Update 14 April.
 
Hi everyone!
A few quick updates from us this week. Latest stats:
  • Total 39,000 vaccines delivered, including over 10,500 second doses
  • We are above target on ALL of Cohorts 1-9 in both Ely North and Ely South PCNs, except for people with Learning Disabilities in Ely South - we are 1.5% off target. We'd love to exceed that target so if you are, or are a carer for, someone with Learning Disabilities who hasn't yet had their vaccine, please call your practice!
More good news: we have signed up to continue vaccinating so, as national guidance allows, we will be opening up our clinics and inviting all of cohorts 10-12 (i.e. everyone aged 18-50).
 
We received the go ahead to invite over 45 year olds today. Exciting! As you know the supply for first doses is a bit limited in April, so we will be offering appointments but please don't be disappointed if you don't manage to get a slot - there will be more as supply increases.
 
As we have asked before, please do wait until you're contacted to book an appointment; or we specifically ask you to call us. Our reception teams are incredibly busy fielding all the usual care alongside enquiries about vaccinations so your patience really does help a huge amount. Thank you!
 
Lastly - the all-important THANK YOU to all the volunteers and staff who braved some pretty cold weather last week! And a little heads up - as things open up and more people need to go back to work, we may well need to make a new appeal for volunteers - we're trying to get the timing right for this relative to deliveries so there's lots of opportunity, but watch this space!

WARNING: COVID-19 Vaccination - Call and Text Message Scams

Please remember the COVID-19 vaccine is being rolled out by the NHS and it is FREE.

You will only be contacted by legitimate NHS bodies when it is your turn and at no point will you be asked to pay anything.

If you receive a call you believe to be fraudulent, hang up. If you have received a text message you think is suspicious, please forward it to the number 7726, which is free of charge and reports the text.

If you are suspicious about an email you have received, please forward it to report@phishing.gov.uk

COVID-19 Vaccination programme

Patients are asked not to contact the surgery regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations. 

The NHS has started to vaccinate the most at-risk priority groups including over-80s and social care workers. Eligible patients will be contacted direct to arrange an appointment. As soon as more vaccines become available, they will be offered to other people at risk as soon as possible. Please don’t contact the NHS to seek a vaccine before then. 

If you have not yet been approached about having the Covid-19 vaccine, please read the information: why you are being asked to wait. 

More patient information on the Covid-19 vaccine is available here. 

Please continue to abide by all the social distancing, wearing of face masks and hand hygiene guidance, which will still save lives.
