Dr Hilary Fox, the clinical lead for the Rutland primary care network writes:
We are delighted to be starting the Covid vaccination programme this week. The booking process is difficult, and we really need to get patients to give us their mobile numbers if they haven’t already done so. We are sending a text to all patients over 70 so that they know we have their number and they don’t need to do anything. For the others we need to get the following message out, Are you able to help please?
We will be sending booking details for the Covid Vaccination Programme to your mobile phone if you have one over the next few weeks and months . If you are aged over 70 and have not received a SMS or text about the Covid Vaccination Programme we do not have your mobile phone number. If you have a smartphone please let your practice know the number by writing to your practice or emailing rutlandhealth.cvp@nhs.net. Please do not phone your practice. If you do not have a mobile phone we will contact you.
