THE Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination has arrived in West Berkshire – but some GP surgeries have said they won’t be offering it at this stage due to the logistical nightmare it represents.
There were long queues at Tilehurst Village Surgery on Tuesday as residents waited outside to be given the jab.
However, the Downland Practice in Chieveley – which is linked with the Strawberry Hill Medical Centre and Eastfield House GP practice in Newbury – has confirmed it won’t be giving vaccinations just yet.
The practice said it would be “impossible” to roll out the vaccine without shutting the surgery down to all other work.
