Carole Taylor - Unfortunately getting to see a GP could take two weeks. Why???
Shona Stringer - This is because GPs haven t been seeing people face to face for over a year now. I can understand how this has happened!
Jayne Snowden - Was at hospital Monday and I ve never seen it as busy, was like xmas in supermarkets.
Denise Firth - Can see a doctor at hospital but not at a doctors surgery!
Sue Carol - Unfortunately new housing estates are going up but no new doctors surgeries, so putting pressure on those that are already there.
Kirsty Lou - Call 111 if you can t see your GP but not serious enough for the hospital!
The UK’s first Covid-19 vaccine study for pregnant women is set to launch.
Around 235 women will be given the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine or a placebo in the study, which is taking place at 11 hospital sites in Newcastle, Leeds, London, Oxford, Gillingham, Edinburgh and Southampton.
More than 100,000 pregnant women have already been vaccinated in the US, mainly with mRNA vaccines including Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, with no safety concerns.
For this reason, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) in the UK has said it is preferable for pregnant women in the UK to be offered the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.
