Update on the Coronavirus Vaccine Appointments
29th January 2021
We are delighted that Severn Fields Medical Centre has now been approved as a hub site for the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, and clinics for all Shrewsbury GP practice patients are starting there this week.
Over the next week we will start the process of sending out text messages inviting patients over 70 to 79 to book their COVID-19 vaccination (if you do not have a mobile number, you will be contacted in another way). We are working through inviting a large list of patients, starting with the extremely vulnerable, then moving down the ages from 79 to 70. Your invitation is on the way. Please do not ring the surgery.
The text you receive will ask you to visit a link starting with "book.nhs.me". Please rest assured that this is a legitimate invitation and a safe link to follow. You will be asked to confirm your date of birth only. For more information about this, please visit - https://support.accurx.com/en/articles/4794856-i-have-been-invited-to-book-my-covid-19-vaccination-through-a-book-nhs-me-link-is-this-legitimate
The address for Severn Fields Medical Centre is Sundorne Road, Shrewsbury, SY1 4RQ
In addition, NHS England has issued letters to patients in the 70 to 79 cohorts. The letter invites a patient to book a vaccination online at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or by phoning 119. You cannot book your vaccination appointment until you have received your letter or received a text or call from the surgery.
