COVID – 19 VACCINATION PROGRAMME

City and Hackney Borough has started Covid-19 vaccination Programme in mid-December.  This vaccination is delivered centrally, i.e. not by individual GP practices. Currently only one center is open in City and Hackney (Elsdale Street Surgery) with the plan to open another two centers in the near future. GP Practices are asked to call/ recall patients focusing on priority groups which are outlined below: 

1.      residents in a care home for older adults and their carers

2.      all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers

3.      all those 75 years of age and over

4.      all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals 

5.      all those 65 years of age and over

6.      all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality

7.      all those 60 years of age and over

8.      all those 55 years of age and over

9.      all those 50 years of age and over

Please wait to be contacted by one of our administrators offering an appointment for Covid-19 vaccination – we will call you as soon as it is your turn to have the vaccine.
