132 vaccinated with 1st dose only - , Phase 3: remaining carers, frontline health and social care workers and over 75 years & phases 4,5,6 and 7( over 70s,over 65s and highly and moderately vulnerable) 

Total: 132 people  have received the single dose, 46 are fully immunised - 178 have received vaccinations in total.

People may be aware that islanders who are in the younger age groups have received vaccines.  This is because they are deemed medically at risk.  They are not jumping the queue for any other reason.

Please email the surgery if you are in any of the vaccinated categories and have not yet received your vaccination.

The surgery plans to hold a small vaccination clinic next week and will be contacting the next cohort once the next delivery of vaccines arrives 

Please do NOT telephone the surgery about your vaccine. The surgery will contact you.
