Vaccination teams across Gloucestershire have been widely praised as yet another major Covid-19 vaccination milestone is surpassed in the county, with 500,000 doses given. Over 150,000 second doses have also been given in Gloucestershire, which NHS leaders have described as a remarkable effort. If they have not already been in contact, local GP services will be in touch as soon as supplies allow offering first dose appointment slots locally to people between the ages of 40 and 49 at one of the ten Primary Care Network GP-led vaccination centres across the county. Residents are politely asked not to call their GP surgery for their first dose of vaccine – the surgery will be in contact.

Cirencester and Moreton in Marsh GP-led vaccination services are contacting over 65s to invite them for the Covid-19 vaccine. Residents and staff in the top four priority groups in Gloucestershire have now been offered a vaccination and over 160,000 people have received their first dose. This includes people aged 70 and over, people in care homes, the clinically extremely vulnerable and frontline health and care workers. The next priority group currently being invited to vaccinate includes over 65s and 16-64 year-olds with underlying health conditions. “What has been achieved across Gloucestershire is truly extraordinary,” said Dr Andy Seymour, clinical chair of NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group.
