The vaccination hub in the Westridge Centre in Ryde has moved just metres away to a new and, health professionals believe, improved location in the former Waltzing Waters part of the building.
Local health chiefs said that, in partnership with the Isle of Wight Council, the new site was quickly brought online.
The health groups involved were the NHS Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group and the North East Locality Primary Care Network (PCN).

THE vaccination hub in the Westridge Centre in Ryde has moved just metres away to a new and improved location in the former Waltzing Waters part of the building. NHS Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group and the North East Locality Primary Care Network (PCN) have worked in partnership with the Isle of Wight Council to bring the site together. The former Waltzing Waters building has been completely renovated to provide people with a clinically safe and efficient environment in which they can receive their Covid-19 vaccination. The new location officially opened on Thursday and is vaccinating people here, with the former site in the learning centre, now closed for vaccinations.

Cowes Medical Centre
A GP surgery on the Isle of Wight has been slammed by a councillor for ‘inadequate levels of service’.
But the health body responsible for the Cowes Medical Centre (CMC) says appointments there have been increasing.
Bringing the issue to the attention of the Isle of Wight Council’s policy and scrutiny committee for health and social care, chair, Cllr John Nicholson, said he was sad to raise it but he had been told about alarming concerns patients have in obtaining ‘satisfactory levels of service’ from the centre on Newport Road.
