Called the ‘Hootons Pharmacy at the Bolton Wanderers’ site, it will initially be vaccinating people aged 75 and over, and who have received a letter inviting them to book an appointment.
A Bolton GP has urged all residents to make sure they get the coronavirus vaccine if it is offered to them. Dr Sharif Uddin, from the Halliwell Surgery, has recorded a plea to residents urging people to trust him and other GPs and to get the coronavirus vaccine. He says that as people trust himself and other GPs with treating other health concerns, such as diabetes, that the public should trust their GPs when it comes to taking the coronavirus vaccine. In a video released by Bolton s Clinical Commissioning Group, Dr Uddin says: Many of you contact me with your various health conditions for example diabetes or high blood pressure, and you trust me as your GP to do the best thing for you.
