COVID 19 VACCINATION INFORMATION

VACCINES GIVEN ABROAD

This service enables you to book an appointment to show evidence for any coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations you’ve had outside of England. This is so the NHS can securely update your vaccination record. 

WE ARE SORRY BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS RELATING TO OTHER VACCINE CENTRES 

COVID VACCINATION CERTIFICATES

We would ask that patients please do not telephone the surgery we are unable to issue these certificates – numerous enquiries are blocking phone lines into the surgery and causing long delays for patients trying to book appointments or speak to reception. 

Information can be obtained as follows:

Proof of your vaccination status will be available on the NHS app.

The NHS app can be downloaded from Apple Store for iPhone or Google Store for android.

Alternatively you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine, the letter may to take up to 5 days to reach you.

Non-urgent advice: COVID19 VACCINATION SCAM ALERT

Very important scam alert – we have been notified of a scam where people are being sent a text telling them they are eligible to apply for a vaccine and to click on a link for further information – THIS IS A SCAM please do not click on any link or put any information into websites telling you that you can access a vaccine this way!

Please also be alert to anyone calling you about the vaccine programme – the surgery will always introduce ourselves if we call you and you can always call us back to check if you are unsure – please do not give personal information to anyone who calls you as we have had reports of calls being made to patients that do not appear to be from a genuine NHS source.
