| Updated: 14:26, 05 January 2021
Rutland County Council s office in Oakham is to be used as a community vaccination centre.
Up to now, vaccinations have been taking place on GP practice premises, with one practice administering the vaccine on behalf of a group of practices known as a primary care network - but none have been given in Rutland. All the GP practices starting their vaccines this week will use non-NHS buildings known as community vaccination centres.
Rutland Healthcare Primary Care Network, consisting of four practices, will be vaccinating their patients from Rutland County Councilâs offices in Catmos St, Oakham. These practices are Empingham Medical Centre, Market Overton and Somerby Surgeries, Oakham Medical Practice and Uppingham Surgery.
Patients at these 42 GP surgeries will be vaccinated against Covid-19 at one of four new centres
The vaccinations will begin with those aged 80 and over, care home workers and residents and other priority groups
