| Latest video – The Covid-19 vaccination programme explained |
| Watch our latest video with Dr Sally Johnson here where she explains how our local vaccination programme is working and answers some common questions. Reminder – please help to remind people they should only attend with a booked appointment Unfortunately a message was circulated in error earlier today about surplus vaccine at the Epsom Racecourse vaccination centre being available today and over the weekend. This is not the case and we are urging people to please not attend the site unless they have a booked appointment. If you can help by retweeting our message we would be very grateful. |

Our local
vaccination programme works flexibly to allow for changes in vaccine supply,
booking numbers and other factors to ensure we make best use of our
resources. This means that our sites don’t necessarily operate every day
(although they are open most days). Frontline teams plan patient appointments
accordingly to ensure the most efficient service; as a reminder, we aren’t
able to offer vaccinations to anyone without an appointment. Across Surrey
Heartlands we continue to make really good progress to deliver vaccinations
to all the priority cohorts within the timescales expected.

Latest FAQs

You can find a comprehensive set of FAQs
on the local programme on our website here.

When will I be contacted
about making an appointment to receive my second dose?
Patients will be contacted just prior to
11 weeks after they received their first dose. The organisation that
vaccinated you in the first place is responsible for ensuring you are
re-contacted to receive your second dose. If you booked your
appointment via the National Booking Service (for example at Epsom Racecourse
or a community pharmacy) you should already have your second appointment.
