Dear Patients

You may have heard on the news that GP Practices have received supplies of the Oxford vaccine and will start vaccinating patients from today (07.01.21). We are following the Government guidelines on vaccinating priority groups and we will be in contact with you when it’s time to book your appointment, either by text, by phone or by letter. The vaccine is free to all.

Sunnyside is proud to have played a part in vaccinating over 3000 people to date as part of our network of Practices. We aim to deliver another 800 vaccinations by the end of January 2021.

We know that you, like us, are struggling with the confines imposed upon us all due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Everyone is trying to make the best of the situation and, as a practice, we are committed to caring for you in the best possible way whilst keeping both you and our team safe.

To keep you as informed as possible, we will update these messages frequently as we become aware of more information from NHS England:

• Please do not telephone us to ask when or if you are going to get a Covid Vaccine.
• The vaccine will be given in order of priority to those at highest risk first.
• Please act on your invitation when it comes, and make sure you attend your appointments.
• It is essential, if you are given a vaccine, that you return for the second part of the vaccination on the date that you are advised to.

Meanwhile, we all need to keep to the advice of hand-washing, face masks and social distancing but we all look forward to the time when we will return to life as normal.

Thank you for your patience

Dr Moss & Partners
