Rowcroft Medical Centre and Beeches Green Health Centre in Stroud has been named as two of Gloucestershire s community Covid-19 vaccination centres. GP practice teams, with the support of local partners including volunteers, will start vaccination of priority groups (over 80s) at the sites in the coming days, pending vaccine deliveries. Starting with people over 80, roll out of the vaccination programme will be expanded in the coming weeks and months to include other priority groups by age and people who are particularly vulnerable. People are being asked to wait for their GP surgery to contact them about local arrangements and timings.

Dr Andy Seymour, Clinical Chair at NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “It’s been an incredible effort to have reached this point with such a short lead in time.
The Prince of Wales has told staff administering the Covid-19 vaccination that he is “way down the list” for an injection.
Charles made the comments as he visited a vaccination centre at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in Gloucester with the Duchess of Cornwall, where the couple met frontline health workers administering and receiving the Pfizer jab.
Charles told staff: “I think I am way down the list and will have to wait.”
He added: “I think I’ll have to wait for the AstraZeneca one before it gets to my turn. I’m some way down the list.”
The prince also said that, as he had suffered with Covid-19, he has antibodies for the virus.
