Title: Vaccination latest Post by: Cookham Webmaster on March 11, 2021, 05:57:32 PM If you receive a text from the sender ‘NHSvaccine’ inviting you to book, it’s genuine. And to be doubly sure, the NHS will never ask for payment or your bank details.
Frimley NHS Health and Care has now given more than 200,000 doses across the region. With vaccine supplies due to increase from next week, Frimley plans to further accelerate its rollout of both first and second jabs. After your first dose, it will take several weeks to build up some protection. Only the second dose will give you maximum protection. But even then, you still may be able to pass the virus onto others. So while restrictions are in place it's crucial everyone sticks to them. If you're the main carer of someone at high risk from coronavirus and you receive the Carer's Allowance, or it says you're a carer in your GP record, you can get the vaccine. Carers UK has guidance on registering as a carer. https://www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-vaccine-faqs The vaccination programme is being run by the NHS, not the council.
