IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE COVID-19 VACCINATION

Broomhill & Lodge Moor Surgeries are working closely with the other local practices within our Primary Care Network to provide a COVID-19 vaccine service for all of our patients.

The COVID -19 vaccine service will be a massive logistical undertaking and the Government has provided strict guidelines as to the prioritisation of at risk  patient groups.

As a result we will be contacting patients directly to arrange their vaccination over the coming weeks and months in line with these guidelines.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE SURGERY TO ENQUIRE ABOUT THE VACCINE
