She said: “As a local GP in Dorset I’m so proud of the huge local effort that has been made locally to deliver this next phase of the vaccination programme. “I’d like to say a personal thank you to all of the local GPs, nurses, pharmacists, support and logistical staff, other primary care staff, and those in the wider health and social care system who have been working round the clock to make it happen.
SIX GP surgeries across Dorset have started to vaccinate patients against coronavirus. Elderly people across the county became the first to receive the long-awaited vaccine when special mass clinics opened today. Stour Surgery in Barrack Road, Christchurch and the Talbot Medical Centre in Kinson Road, Bournemouth are among those taking part. Heatherview Medical Centre in Poole, St Leonards Hospital, the Weymouth Community Hospital and Bridport Medical Centre are also involved. GPs and other primary care staff have been working round-the-clock and throughout the weekend to deliver this part of the roll-out. The latest stage is being delivered by GP-led primary care networks with more joining on a phased basis during December and in the coming months.
