GP surgeries have been urged to focus on adults in at-risk groups during the latest phase of the coronavirus vaccination programme. Vaccination centres have been inviting all adults aged 65 and over as well as those at risk between the ages of 16 and 65 since last week. But now they have been told to put those at risk first and that 65-69-year-olds will shortly receive invitations from a mass vaccination site, such as the Bournemouth International Centre. Over 65s are currently listed as the fifth priority group - cohort 5 - and those at risk as cohort 6. In a letter sent to GPs and Primary Care Networks(PCNs) at the weekend Dr Nikita Kanani, NHS England’s Medical Director for Primary Care, said: “PCN sites should focus their efforts on inviting cohort six, which includes a wider group of people at higher clinical risk, including carers and young adults in residential settings.
