Somerset Covid vaccination programme to roll out across all 13 GP community sites
More GP-led community vaccination sites will start to vaccinate people in highest priority groups in Somerset from this coming week.
The final three primary care network (PCN) areas will join the existing ten sites launched over the past few weeks across the county, which includes Berrow’s Mulberry Centre near Burnham-On-Sea, as part of a phased delivery plan.
The new vaccination sites include: Wincanton Community Hospital, College Way Surgery in Taunton, and Wellington Community Hospital.
The NHS says that it is expected that over the next few weeks the NHS vaccination programme will ramp up across all thirteen Somerset GP-led community sites and two hospital hubs to offer vaccination appointments for a significant proportion of our highest risk patients across all sites.
SOMERSET people in the highest priority groups will be able to get the Covid-19 vaccines at three new locations. The new sites at Wincanton Community Hospital, College Way Surgery in Taunton, and Wellington Community Hospital are in addition to the 12 sites already up and running. Practice teams have been working hard to develop and prepare the new community locations, ready to welcome the first people to have their vaccine over the next few days. Health and care teams across the county have been working closely with national NHS colleagues to set up local GP vaccination services for the most vulnerable people, alongside the national delivery schedule.
