Mendip Vale Medical Group, which has 65,000 patients on its books, has been administering Covid-19 vaccines since mid-December. Staff dedicated 20 rooms to vaccinate patients and were innoculating 128 people-an-hour, 12 hours-a-day, and planned to treat around 1,000 people a day going forward. But the practice, in Langford, Somerset, is now having its vaccine capacity restricted by the local health authorities - leaving one local patient group baffled the decision. The outraged patient participation group (PPG) has lodged a formal complaint to the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Care Commissioning Group, which manages vaccine supplies.
