Flu vaccinations for patients aged 50-64
As you may have heard in the news on 20th November 2020, adults between the ages of 50 and 64 are now able to get their free flu vaccine from their GP or local pharmacy from the 1st December 2020. This in in line with the next phase of this year’s expanded flu vaccination programme.
We have today received notification that we can now order an additional supply of vaccine for those aged 50-64. However, we will only be able to offer appointments once these additional supplies have been received.
We will update our Facebook page and our practice website once appointments are available for booking.
Thank you for your patience.
SURGERY DOORS OPEN (Trial) - ONLY FOR PATIENTS WITH PRE-BOOKED APPOINTMENTS
We still need to minimise the number of patients coming in to the Surgery to ensure social distancing can be observed.
Please continue to ring the surgery with any queries. With screens, masks and social distancing it makes it more difficult for queries to be dealt with at the reception desk. We also need to protect any patients attending appointments including those who are most vulnerable.
Please also continue to ring the surgery to book an appointment. Following national guidance all appointments, routine or urgent, are being conducted over the telephone initially and the Doctor will arrange a face to face appointment if clinically appropriate.
It is essential that no-one attends the surgery if they have any of the following symptoms:
- Continuous cough and / or
- High temperature and / or
- Loss of sense of smell or taste
If experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact 119 or visit www.nhs.uk to arrange a Covid test. Advice regarding symptoms can be obtained through 111 or www.nhs.uk.
Attending the surgery with any of these symptoms could lead to the surgery having to close for a period of time to arrange deep cleaning which will have a detrimental effect on the service we can provide to all of our patients.
We hope you will support us to ensure this trial is successful. If we do find patients continue to turn up at the surgery to discuss queries or book appointments we will have to consider closing the doors again.
Notice: Public Health England have advised us that some women are being contacted by text message, claiming to be from the call and recall service to advise they are overdue for screening. The message asks them to call a mobile number and provide personal details.
Please be aware that these messages are not from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme or from the practice. The Action Fraud Line has been contacted.
Like many organisations, we at Andover Mind are doing our best to respond to the ever changing situation facing us as a result of Coronavirus.
