COVID VACCINE UPDATE 💉⚠️

The government has announced that all children aged 12 to 15 in England will be offered one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Invitations for the vaccine are expected to begin next week (20-26 September). The vaccination programme for this age group will be delivered through schools, not via GP practices. Parents and guardians of those eligible will be contacted when it’s their turn to get the vaccine.

Covid-19 booster jabs are expected to be offered to eligible groups in the coming weeks. The booster jab should be given at least six months after your second dose of the vaccine. The NHS will contact you when it is your turn to get the booster vaccine, so please don’t contact the NHS. If you are invited, it is vital you attend so that you have the best possible protection against Covid-19.

We are aware that some eligible patients have received an invitation from the NHS to attend a mass vaccination site for their COVID vaccination.

We are continuing to contact eligible patients to receive their vaccine locally in Leamington Spa. Some eligible patients in Coventry and Warwickshire will receive a letter from the NHS inviting them to book an appointment for their COVID vaccine at a large vaccination centre from this weekend.

Patients who receive this letter have the choice to book an appointment at Millennium Point in Birmingham. Millennium Point is one of the first large vaccination centres in the country to open and these large sites are to help speed up the national vaccination programme.

The letter is being sent to people who are aged 80 and over and who live within a 45 mile radius of the Birmingham centre. Locally we already have 12 Local Vaccination Sites in place, with 8 more coming into place during January.

We understand many patients will prefer to have a vaccine close to their home address. This letter is for the first dose of the vaccine. If you have already had your first dose of the vaccine, you will be contacted again when it’s time for your second dose.

⚠️SCAM ALERT!⚠️ - We are aware that some people are receiving fraudulent calls and text messages offering the COVID-19 vaccination. A URL takes you through to an extremely convincing fake NHS website that asks for your personal details. (Here's an example of a fraudulent text).

The NHS will:
❌ NEVER ask you to press a button on your keypad or send a text asking you to confirm if you want the vaccine.
❌ NEVER ask for payment for the vaccine or for your bank details
