Once the 15 minutes are up people who have received the vaccination can leave the surgery; they will return again in 21 days to receive their second dose, which is needed for full protection. GP Dale added: “Over the course of the three days we vaccinated hundreds of people and I would like to pay tribute to the team s incredible efforts to get the clinics up and running so smoothly. I would also like to thank the people who attended for the Covid-19 vaccination, their good humour, support and gratitude for what we are doing has been uplifting and kept morale high.”
