COVID INFORMATION
“As a practice and in partnership with other Chester GP surgeries running the St Columba’s vaccination site, we will now only be booking appointments for our patients to receive their 2nd COVID Vaccines. If you are aged 50 or over or are classed as Clinically Vulnerable and have not yet been invited for your 1st Vaccine dose, please follow this link to book your 1st appointment at one of the Mass Vaccination Centres: Chester Racecourse being the closest:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/
If you had your first vaccination with a practice, the practice will contact you in due course to arrange your 2nd Vaccination 11 to 12 weeks after your first vaccination.”
The NHS will contact you when it’s the right time to come forward. If you’re eligible for a vaccine, but are yet to be contacted, please remain patient. You will not be missed. If you are over 60yrs and not yet been contacted please use the booking link above.
When you are invited for a vaccine, please act on your invite and make sure you attend appointments when you arrange them.
Please also continue to wear a face covering and follow social distancing and hand hygiene guidance as, until a vaccine has been fully rolled out, this is the most effective way to reduce transmission of the virus and help save lives.
