COVID-19

The public can really help the NHS to deliver our vaccination programmes effectively to those who need it most. Taking these simple steps will help us to help you.

• The NHS will contact you when it’s the right time to come forward, so please don’t contact us to seek a vaccine before then.
• Please act on your invitation when it arrives, and make sure you attend your appointments when you arrange them.
• In the meantime, please continue to abide by all the social distancing and hand hygiene guidance, which will still save lives.

The latest information on the COVID-19 vaccination programme is online at 
www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine

and we advise checking there first if you have questions about the safety or effectiveness of COVID vaccines, or your priority to receive vaccination.

IMPORTANT: Register interest in local COVID-19 Vaccination programme 

If you or someone you know would like to register interest in supporting the local COVID-19 vaccination programme, please do so via the Essex Primary Care Careers website.

If you have any questions about the Vaccination Programme yourself, please do email meccg.essex.incident.primarycare@nhs.net so the Incident Management Team can log and respond in a coordinated way to the high number of queries coming in.
