Coronavirus Information

Covid-19 Vaccinations

This page is due to be updated within the next week - 02.12.2021

 

COVID19 Vaccinations
We are now offering COVID19 booster vaccinations at the surgery.  We will contact you either by text or telephone to let you know when you are eligible for the booster vaccination and to explain how you can book your appointment. We will try to coordinate your Flu & Covid vaccine at the same time (this is subject to vaccine delivery and availablity).
 
Patients become eligible for the COVID19 booster vaccination 180 days after they have had their second COVID19 vaccination so we will be offering you an appointment after that date.

1. You must wear a face covering for all appointments. Please click here for more information on how to wear and make a cloth face covering. We look forward to welcoming you safely to the practice . If you present with either a cough, high temperature or loss of taste or smell, you will be sent home and a clinician will call you from home. You will not be able to enter the building for your appointment.

2. Staff will be wearing PPE and face to face contact will be kept to the minimum necessary.

3. Hand gel is available in the door entrance and we would ask you not to touch anything when walking into the building.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation. We look forward to welcoming you to Pershore Medical Practice

Symptoms and what to do

Do not leave your home if you have either:

  • a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
  • a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
  • Loss of taste or smell

To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. Stay at home.

Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.

Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.
