The attached chart is based on progress for our patients at Tower Family Healthcare, we have approximately 25% of the Bury population registered with our Practice. It represents patients who have either had their 1st vaccine or have an appointment for it.

As you may be aware there are four COVID vaccination sites across Bury at Prestwich Walk-in Centre, Elizabethan Suite and Bury Town Hall, Bealeys Community Hospital in Radcliffe, and Ramsbottom Civic Hall. These are being staffed by all the GP practices in Bury in an impressive joint effort and by many others, so colleagues from Community Pharmacies and a wide range of volunteers. Any patients from any practice can be booked into any of the sites.

The latest updates:

1) We have booked the majority of our patients mobile over 75s for an appointment – if you are registered with us, and mobile, and over 75 and not had an appointment then please phone us – 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧.

2) We are starting to book our 70-74 yr old mobile patients and patients between 18 and 69yrs old who are mobile and Clinically Extremely Vulnerable. 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃.

3) We continue to book 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 – second appointments will be sorted later

4) We await further supplies of the Oxford/Astra Zeneca to then be able to move to vaccinate housebound patients and the 16 and 17yr old clinically extremely vulnerable.

Please continue to be 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃 to each other and us. The positive feedback from Facebook and our askmyGP system means so much to us and helps us keep going through these difficult unique times.

Thank you
