“At the moment we're a bit unclear as to what role general practices will play. We don't know what the expectations are within this vaccine rollout,” he said. “We need clear guidance on when things are stepping up, how they're ramping up and what that looks like to the end of the year.” He said clinics were already getting booked up with another important vaccination programme – flu jabs, which became available to those over 65 today. If people were planning to get both the flu vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine in coming weeks and would be doing so at their GPs, Betty said it would be a slightly more complex co-ordination job due to the need to leave two weeks between a flu vaccination and a Covid vaccination.
