COVID-19 Vaccination:

Currently vaccinations for our ACHD patients are being organised / provided by GP services. Unfortunately we are unable to provide vaccines to our patients through our ACHD service nor have any sway on how soon patients will receive it.

The order by which vaccines are offered is decided by the government. Extremely vulnerable and vulnerable individuals should receive priority over the general population/ low risk categories.

While the vaccine may not stop you from catching and passing on the virus, it will reduce your chances of becoming seriously ill. Hence, it is important that you continue to follow the advice provided by the Government and the NHS with regards to minimising COVID-19 transmission even after having the vaccine.
