Around 600 homeless and vulnerable people are being invited to get Covid-19 vaccines at a surgery. GPs at the Meadowell clinic at Watford Health Centre are targeting groups most at risk if they contract coronavirus, after Watford Borough Council confirmed it will support rough sleepers throughout the vaccination programme. With rough sleepers not having mobile phones to receive an alert when eligible for a vaccine, it has become the role of GPs to urge homeless people to become registered. Vulnerable people such as homeless people, sex workers and some traveller communities are among those who are being targeted. Dr Martha Ford, a GP with special interest in substance misuse, inclusion health and treating hepatitis C in primary care, said: “We have around 600 registered patients. They range from some rough-sleeping, others in hostels or without a permanent address – often these are living with friends, in a car or van and sometimes on a boat.
