VACCINE UPDATE
 
We are now starting to contact everyone over the age of 50 for their first vaccination.
 
We are also recontacting those who have not responded to their invite, as well as those due for 2nd vaccinations.
 
You will be sent your invite by text with a link to book if we have your mobile number and consent to receive texts, if not we will call you.

Vaccine Update:
We are expecting a busy time as Alnwick Hub will be operating Saturday 27th and 28th March for second Pfizer doses (over 80s) and Monday 29th and 30th March for first AZ vaccinations.
First doses continue to be for our At Risk patients and over 60s.
We have had a fantastic response to the new text booking system and have just one favour to ask please – if you are attending at a vaccination centre, eg. Centre For Life and have a booked appointment, could you please decline our invite – this will save our admin time in trying to contact you and will also allow us to invite other patients in more quickly.
many thanks

We are letting you know about a very useful website called Germ Defence which was created by a team of doctors and scientists to give you advice that has been proven to reduce the spread of viruses in the home. It can help you plan how to protect yourself and members of your family from infection by COVID-19 and ‘flu.

It’s easy to use and only takes 10 minutes – just click on this link: 

www.germdefence.org

(If this link does not open when you click on it, please copy and paste it into your web browser.)

Please pass details of the Germ Defence website to your friends and family.

There’s a button at the bottom of the Germ Defence website for sharing by social media.

If you’d like to know more:

  • Over 20,000 people previously took part in research about Germ Defence
  • People who followed the advice in Germ Defence had fewer and less severe illnesses – and so did the people they lived with
  • Results of the study were published in The Lancet medical journal
  • Germ Defence has been updated with COVID-19 advice to help prevent a wave of COVID-19 and ‘flu this Autumn/Winter
  • Information about how the Germ Defence website is being evaluated is available here.

Wow – this is so motivational to us all –  but we also know we have so much more to do, and we will keep focussed on delivering the vaccine and maintaining the best GP service we can at the same time.
Our patients have been so understanding and have contributed to the team effort.
