Update:  14.5.21

We are pleased to announce that we have now vaccinated 96% of patients in groups 1-9 with at least one vaccine.

Very few patients in the groups invited thus far have declined to have the vaccination which is extremely encouraging and we thank those of you who have elected to have the vaccine.  If you have decided that you do not want to have the vaccination, please do not call the surgery but instead please put this in writing and send it via email to [email protected] so that we can update your medical record and so that we do not keep contacting you.

We are currently working our way through vaccinating all those aged 30 to 39 years.

When you are called for your appointment can we please remind you to go alone, unless of course you need assistance, to reduce the footfall and to protect other patients and the staff working at the Town Hall.

We will of course update you further as soon as we have any news to tell you, in the meantime, thank you for your patience and please continue to help us by remembering not to contact us (by phone or email) in respect of covid vaccinations.

Eligible patients will be contacted by SMS by us, please be patient and wait until you are contacted, DO NOT RING US. The only exception to this is if you are, or you know of anybody aged over 40 years that would like the vaccination and have not heard from us then please ask them to contact us.

Unfortunately we/the NHS cannot provide transport and therefore if you don’t drive you should make your own transport arrangements, either by friends, family or public transport/taxi. Stokenchurch Community Transport are able to offer transport for those who do not wish to drive to the vaccination centre with priority given to those with limited mobility, including wheelchair-bound, who will otherwise find it extremely difficult to get to the vaccination centre. For further information, please call 07549 838 773.

There is parking available for those who intend to drive, at the Swan Car Park and signage and volunteers will be present to indicate the route to the vaccination centre. Please ensure you wear warm clothing as it is a short walk from the car park. For disabled patients or those who struggle to walk there is a drop off zone and disabled access via the archway in Queen Victoria Road, next to the Town Hall.

Please be mindful that we are currently working under extreme pressure due to the extra demands of the Covid-19 vaccination programme in addition to providing our normal services and winter pressures.  Our resources are further stretched as we are also helping staff the mass vaccination centre at the Town Hall and please bear in mind that we are not immune ourselves to staff losses due to the pandemic. You should only contact us regarding the vaccine if you have received a text message from us asking you to do so. For more information regarding the vaccination please visit the NHS.UK website  and look at the handy patient information leaflet published by Public Health England Covid-19 Vaccine leaflet

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SURGERY WITH QUESTIONS RELATING TO WHEN YOUR VACCINATION WILL BE TAKING PLACE AS WE WILL CONTACT YOU AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
