Coronavirus Vaccine Programme update

A massive thank you to all the Westhoughton patients, staff and volunteers.

Please see below for the current information as of 30/06/2021.

SECOND DOSES

We are now contacting our original cohorts to confirm second dose vaccination dates.

These dates have been slightly amended due to vaccine delivery schedules and updated guidance.

We now have 2nd vaccine delivery dates for those patients who were vaccinated on 18th & 25th May. We will be in touch either via message or phone- possibly a private number call. You must confirm your second dose appointment to secure your vaccine. If you turn up without a confirmed appointment time we will not have an allocated vaccine for you.

These are being released in batches. Please be patient.

Please remember for full protection you need 2 doses of vaccine.

Please note the Pfizer vaccine CANNOT be given as a home visit so as per your first dose (unless there is a significant clinical change) then you will need to attend Peter House.

Original vaccination date Confirmed 2nd dose
