Once the 15 minutes are up people who have received the vaccination can leave the surgery; they will return again in 21 days to receive their second dose, which is needed for full protection. GP Dale added: “Over the course of the three days we vaccinated hundreds of people and I would like to pay tribute to the team s incredible efforts to get the clinics up and running so smoothly. I would also like to thank the people who attended for the Covid-19 vaccination, their good humour, support and gratitude for what we are doing has been uplifting and kept morale high.”
More GP practices in Cornwall will begin vaccinating people against coronavirus from tomorrow (Saturday). Practices in the Falmouth and Penryn primary care network (PCN), along with North Kerrier (East) and Watergate PCNs will join the huge effort to try and bring the country back to normality from the pandemic. They will join St Austell Healthcare PCN, Truro PCN and Three Harbours and Bosvena Health PCN, who started earlier this week. GPs and other primary care staff have been working around the clock to deliver this part of the roll-out. The Covid-19 vaccine is being rolled out across the country to people most at risk. People aged 80 and over as well as care home workers are the first to receive the vaccine.
