Bury Council s Vaccinometer as of January 27, 2021 MORE than 23,000 people registered with a Bury GP have now been vaccinated against coronavirus. This means that nearly 13% of the eligible population (182,100) have been given at least one of the two jabs necessary to protect against this potentially fatal illness. The jabs are being carried out by medical staff at four vaccination centres run by the Primary Care Network: the Elizabethan Suite in Bury, Bealey’s in Radcliffe, Ramsbottom Civic Hall, and Prestwich Walk-in Centre. A number of vaccination targets have been set with February 15 the target for vaccinating the 39,400 people aged over 70 in addition to other clinically extremely vulnerable people over 16.
Patients in eligible groups will receive their invitation to attend either by text message or phone call.
Dr Catherine Rogers, clinical director for North Shropshire Primary Care Network, said: “We are pleased and excited that north Shropshire patients will have a GP-led facility within their vicinity. At the moment we are expecting both Pfizer/BioNtech and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines. This is great news as we will now be able to work together to offer vaccinations across the whole of north Shropshire.
The group said it would like to reassure patients that they will be contacted to book their appointments and not to contact the surgeries, as staff continue to work through the government priority groups.
