Saturday 16th January - if you have an appointment for the covid vaccination this weekend, please enter Dewsbury Health Centre via the Wellington Road entrance using the Wellington road car park (car parking will be free). To help us maintain social distance please do not arrive early to your appointment and wear a short sleeved top so we can easily reach the top of your arm to give the jab.
We are still working to vaccinate those patients aged over 80 years, if you are in this cohort and have not yet booked your appointment please contact us.
Update- Friday 15th January. We expect to start inviting our patients over 75 years of age for covid vaccinations from next week.
If you are aged under 80 please DO NOT CONTACT us about your vaccine, we WILL contact you when we have vaccines available for your cohort.
If you are a health care worker your employer will facilitate your vaccine at the hospital when they receive a notification to do so. The vaccines for your cohort are not currently administered by us.

Don't worry if you don't have a mobile number, we will call you on your home telephone once vaccines are available for your cohort.
