Weekly update number 5 has information for those who received their first vaccine in last January and early February.
Please remember, our Reception team does not have additional information or access to lists for first or second jabs. We are asking patients to refer to these updates for information, leaving the phone lines open for patients who need to speak to us.
Everyone in groups 1-9 should now have been offered the vaccine. Clinics for second doses are released weekly and will be 11-12 weeks after your first dose.
More than 32 million first doses have been administered in the UK, with nearly 7.5 million people also receiving their second jab. We will next contact people who received their first jab on 27th, 28th, and 30th January. The latest figures can be found on the Government vaccine dashboard.
