COVID-19 Vaccination Programme
Covid-19 Vaccine update: October 2021
COVID BOOSTER PROGRAMME
Please note that East Barnwell Health Centre will not be holding Covid Booster vaccination clinics. These will be offered at large NHS vaccination centres locally. Booster vaccine doses will be available on the NHS for people most at risk from COVID-19 who have already had 2 doses of a vaccine. The NHS will let you know when it’s your turn to have one. If you are eligible you will be able to book your appointment 6 months after receiving your second dose.
For further information on Covid-19 Booster vaccinations, please visit: Covid Vaccination Booster Programme
Still need to have your first or second Covid vaccine dose?
Anyone over the age of 18 can now book a Covid vaccination at one of the large vaccination centres. Appointments can be booked by ringing 119 or by visiting NHS Covid Vaccination.
Patients aged 16-18 can obtain a Covid Vaccination at one of the walk in clinic- information can be found HERE
Information about vaccinations for the extremely clinical vulnerable children age 12-15 can be found HERE

Visiting our practice? Please continue to wear a face covering and socially distance
All of our COVID-19 secure measures remain in place and this will not change when Government guidance changes on 19 July 2021.
Patients are asked to continue to wear a face covering, unless they are exempt, and to follow social distancing when visiting our GP Practice.
This follows the national Infection Prevention Control (IPC) Guidance for all healthcare settings and will help to ensure the safety of our staff and patients at all times.
Thank you for your continued support.

Help Us Help YOU
All NHS services are under severe pressure at the moment, as we look after increasing numbers of patients who are sick with covid-19 in the community, and other deteriorating conditions too.
We are also delivering the huge and vitally important covid-19 vaccination programme. Please do not contact us regarding a vaccine, we will contact you.
So that we can focus on these really important issues, we will understandably be prioritising urgent care.
This means that when you contact us, we may have an initial conversation with you to understand how urgent your health needs are.
If you have an issue that is not urgent, you may need to wait longer than usual until your problem or concern can be dealt with. You may be asked to rebook at a later date, or at a safer time (e.g. attending for a non-urgent blood test).
Do please make sure that you continue to get in touch with us if you need to. This is particularly important if:
• your problem is genuinely urgent
• you have a long term condition that is getting worse
• you are worried about symptoms that might indicate cancer
Please also remember you can call NHS 111 for urgent concerns, and 999 for serious emergencies. Your local pharmacist can also help with minor complaints too.
– For adults with mental health problems including depression and anxiety, you can refer yourself directly to the local wellbeing service, via 0300 300 0055.
-If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, call the First Response Service by calling 111 and select option 2 (in Wisbech call 111, select option 1 and ask to be put through to the First Response Service).
– A local CCG has produced an excellent childhood illnesses leaflet free to download here, full of advice and information for parents and carers of young children:
– The Cambridgeshire County Council has a range of support and information to help in times of urgent need: telephone 0345 045 5202 8am-6pm weekdays 9am-1pm Saturdays. Outside office hours if someone is in danger telephone 01733 234724. In an emergency, call 999. Also see www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/adults.
Thank you very much for helping us all manage under these very difficult circumstances
