Third doses of COVID-19 vaccine
You may be eligible for a third primary dose of COVID-19 vaccine due to immune suppression during your first two doses. Check the advice here. If uncertain make an appointment to discuss your case with your doctor.
Please note, COVID-19 vaccine exemptions will only be given for the following reasons:
anaphylaxis to a previous dose of a COVID vaccine or previous anaphylaxis to any component of a COVID vaccine. Temporary exemption may be given for some acute medical conditions.
Potential exposure at the clinic on 12th October
We were advised at 5PM today (Friday 15th October) that a person who attended Vermont Medical Clinic from 2.45PM to 3.30PM on Tuesday 12th October has tested positive today for COVID-19. The infected person was asymptomatic until Thursday morning. The risk is very low but you must get tested if you develop any symptoms.
COVID-19 Information and Immunisation Bookings
We are publishing appointments in clinics for first Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine as vaccine stock becomes available. If there are no appointments available you may recheck at intervals, or you may book in for AstraZeneca vaccine if you are aged 18 or over. We are now accepting Pfizer bookings for people aged from the age of 12. For those over 60 please note that we have not been allocated additional vaccine stock, so you may still wish to book for AstraZeneca vaccine if you wish to be immunised sooner.
For Pfizer we are now accepting bookings for the first or second vaccination. For those attend for their first, an appointment for your second vaccinations will be made at this appointment.
