NHS Kent and Medway CCG - Community Bulletin: Covid-19 Vaccine Update

Covid-19 vaccine update

Over 70s and shielded patients encouraged to book now

Anyone aged 70 and over or on the Shielded Patients List (because they are clinically extremely vulnerable) who has not yet had a first dose vaccine can use the National Booking System to book an appointment. You do not need a letter from the NHS. Members of the public not in these groups still need to wait for a letter.

You can book for yourself or on behalf of a relative. The person being vaccinated will need to be registered with a GP. You'll need the name, date of birth and home postcode of the person being vaccinated. The person's NHS number is helpful but not essential.

You can use the national booking service to arrange an appointment at one of three large vaccination centres or seven community pharmacy-led services in the county.

The vaccination centres are in:

• Folkestone
• Gravesend
• Tonbridge

Pharmacy services are running in:

• Sevenoaks Pharmacy
• Lawsat Pharmacy, vaccinations at Cliffe Woods Community Centre
• New Romney Pharmacy, vaccinations at New Romney Old School
• Clockwork Pharmacy, Deal
• Boots Bluewater
• Boots Chatham
• Pharmacy2U, Maidstone, vaccinations at Odeon Cinema, Lockmeadow

There is no restriction on where you live, you can book at any of these sites if slots are available.

To book visit: http://bit.ly/3aToVjb

If you can’t book online, you can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7:00am and 11:00pm seven-days-a-week. British Sign Language, text relay and interpreter services are available.

GP-run vaccine services and housebound visits

The national booking service cannot make appointments for GP services or home visits.

GPs and their teams continue to invite people to local vaccination services and are prioritising going out to housebound patients who haven’t already been vaccinated.

If people over 70 or clinically extremely vulnerable, who have not yet had a first dose Covid-19 vaccine, want to use GP services they should now contact their GP practice.

Members of the public not in these groups still need to wait to be contacted. Please do not call your GP practice at this stage.

Upchurch Matters

3 Things to Remember to Stay Safe from NHS Vaccine Scams

Hartlip, Newington & Upchurch Ward

1. The NHS will never ask you for payment, or for your payment details.

2. Nobody from the NHS will ever turn up at your door unexpectedly to give you a vaccine.

3. You’ll never be asked to send copies or originals of any ID documents in advance of your vaccination appointment. For example, passport, driving licence, bank statements or National Insurance Number.

Ignore Emails, calls and messages that seem suspicious, and report them.

If you think you might have given away sensitive information or lost money to a scam, report it online to: ActionFraud@police.uk
