Covid vaccinations are set to finish from the end of May at The Mulberry Centre in Berrow when the service will move to Cheddar, it has been announced this week.
The Berrow site has been the focus for local vaccinations in the Burnham-On-Sea area since it opened last December.
NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group says the GP-led community site will not continue in to phase two of vaccinations, to enable teams to focus more on day-to-day healthcare services.
Vaccinations will continue to be offered from the pharmacy-led site at the BASC sports ground in Burnham-On-Sea.
NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group says: “The Somerset COVD vaccination programme is making very good progress, with over 572,874 vaccines given as of 16 May 2021.”
Berrow Medical Centre gets first local Coronavirus vaccinations underway
The Mulberry Centre at Berrow Medical Centre is the first local site to start vaccinating some of the area’s most vulnerable residents for Coronavirus from this week.
People who have been identified by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) as the highest priority will be invited first, including over-80s and health and care staff.
This first wave of community GP-led sites follows the launch of the NHS vaccination programme in hospital hubs, such as Yeovil District Hospital, and is part of a range of ways that people will access vaccination services across Somerset.
