Vaccines against Covid-19 begin to be rolled out to over 70s in Pulborough

Pulborough Medical Group says it has supplies of the Oxford AstraZenica vaccine and will be carrying out vaccinations over the weekend.

In a notice on its website, the surgery says: “These vaccines are for patients aged 70 and over, and those who are in the extremely high risk category and would be in receipt of a letter advising them to shield.”

But it adds: “Please do NOT contact the practice for a Covid vaccination if you are not in the above cohort of patients as we are not allowed to offer vaccines to anyone outside of the age and risk groups identified above.”
