At the time of writing over 9,000 patients of The Rycote Practice have had at least one Covid vaccination and over 7000 patients are now fully immunised. We are now offering the Pfizer vaccine to all patients over the age of 18 and are running clinics on the morning of Saturday 3 July and the evening of Wednesday 7 July so that it is easier for working age patients to attend. Please do let us know if you have not yet had your first dose – you can call us directly on 01844 267935.

If you are unable to make the clinics at The Rycote Practice you can also book at other vaccination sites via this link or by calling 119.
We strongly encourage everyone to get the jab as soon as they are offered it. Infection rates continue to rise locally and the Covid vaccination will protect you and others who may be more vulnerable. We also encourage everyone to continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing until everyone is fully immunised. Stay safe. Protect the NHS . Save lives.
