COVID-19 VACCINATION UPDATE
The local Health Board have not informed us to cease Covid clinics due to the media coverage surrounding blood clots and the suspense of the vaccine in other countries.
We have not got any further information and currently it would be the patients choice whether to accept the Astra Zeneca vaccine given here in the surgery. We do not offer the Pfizer vaccine due to storage requirements.
Please be reassured that many staff and doctors at the practice have had the Astra Zeneca vaccines themselves and the senior partner has stated that he has no concern with the vaccine and would strongly advise patients to take up the offer.
For information on 2nd vaccination appointment queries, scroll down to our news section below, or see the associated Facebook post, (published 18th March, 19:00).
