WARNING: COVID-19 Vaccination Text Message Scam

Please be aware that there are currently scam text messages circulating saying that you are "now eligible to apply for your vaccine" and they give you a link to a web page which then asks for bank card details to prove your identity. This message is not genuine. You will never be asked for any money or bank details to get your COVID vaccination as it is being provided free of charge.

We are asking all visitors to wear a face covering.  The face covering MUST cover your nose and mouth; ideally the bottom part of the covering should sit under your chin.  If there is any reason why you are not able to wear a face covering, please inform the Receptionist on arrival.

Ely PCNs Covid Vaccination Weekly Update - 17 Feb 2021

 Last week was slightly quieter due to the bad-weather clinic cancellation. However, we are delighted to report that, over 95% of everyone in cohorts 1-4 are now vaccinated 🎉

Here are our latest stats:

• 16,500 vaccines given so far from 15th Dec 2020 to 14th Feb 2021
• Cohort 1 (care homes) : 100% of all our consenting care home residents have been vaccinated
• Cohort 2 (Over 80s): all invited, and approx. 96% vaccinated.
• Cohort 3 (Over 75s): all invited, approx 96% vaccinated.
• Cohort 4 (Over 70 and clinical extremely vulnerable): all invited, approx 92% vaccinated.
• Cohort 5 (Over 65): 79% vaccinated; outstanding invitations to be sent out this week from mass vaccination sites

Anyone from Cohorts 1-4 who has not yet managed to book an appointment: please call your surgery for assistance. We have tried to reach everyone multiple times, but may still not have been able to get through. If you would like to be vaccinated, we will make sure that you are.

As has been reported in the news, we are now moving on to planning clinics out to the end of February. The key points here are:

• Patients in cohort 5 should be receiving letters from NHS England this week, and can use the link provided in the letter to book an appointment at a mass vaccination site if preferred; we will also be offering appointments as they come available.
• We are now inviting patients from cohort 6. This is a very large cohort, and vaccine supply nationally is limiting the number of appointments currently available. We will be sending invites out in batches to minimise the risk of disappointment. Please wait until you are contacted via SMS or phone call for an appointment - thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

As ever, we would like to express our deepest thanks and gratitude to all of our wonderful volunteers and staff from all six practices who together are rising to this immense challenge. So far, 300 people have together clocked up a MASSIVE 5250 hours to vaccinate our local community - just amazing! Thank you all so much!
