For patients of Neston Medical Centre, contacts will commence Friday 8th January, Neston Surgery Saturday 9th and Willaston Surgery Sunday 10th January

Patients from all three surgeries will attend Neston Medical Centre as it is the main hub. You will receive full instruction when booking your appointment with your own practice.

The surgery car park will have stewards on site to allow for drop offs only. Please be aware there is limited parking available at Sainsbury's and other places nearby. Where possible please walk or arrange a lift. Remember to wear a face covering, the medical centre will supply santiser.

Once you have had your vaccine you will be required to remain in the surgery for 15 minutes. Please bring a contact number to give to reception if you wish for staff to contact your lift at that stage and they will be happy to do this for you.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE POSTED 24th DECEMBER 2020:

In a joint statement issued by Neston Surgery, Neston Medical Centre and Willaston Surgery, patients are advised:

1. We will contact you when is the right time for you to come forward. Please do not contact the NHS to seek a vaccine before then.

2. Neston Surgery, Willaston Surgery and Neston Medical Centre are expecting to vaccinate patients week beginning 4th January 2021.

3. The vaccine is delivered in two parts, we will arrange two appointments for you, the second will be 21 days after the first date of vaccination. It's extremely important that you attend both appointments when booked.

4. Please wear a face covering and sanitise hands when entering the building

5. 85 years and over will be invited first, followed by over 80's etc.

6. Please be assured if you have an acute medical need you can still contact the surgery

7. Neston Medical Centre (Liverpool Road, Neston) is the designated vaccination site for Neston & Willaston PCN (Primary Care Network). This means, that ALL invited patients will attend Neston Medical Centre to receive your vaccination, however, the staff from your usual surgery will be there to carry out the work

8. Parking will be restricted. Where possible try to walk, use public transport, arrange lifts etc, there will be a drop off point outside the surgery and various parking in the town centre such as Sainsbury's and the train station. The surgery car park will have stewards to direct you if necessary. Enter the surgery via the back entrance where a member of staff will greet you and confirm your details. As we are unsure of weather conditions it would be advisable to wear a warm coat and perhaps bring an umbrella.

9. There is a requirement for each patient to remain in the surgery for 15minutes after they receive their vaccination; there will be a seated area in the building for you to wait (socially distanced).

10. For those of you who have specific needs, an adult will be permitted to come in with you but please bear in mind the surgery will be busy and we need to keep numbers to an absolute minimum so it will only be those who need accompanying.

11. If you have any further questions please ask these at the time of booking the appointment to avoid any delays on the day. Unfortunately due to time specifications we will be unable to spend time answering questions at the time of your appointment.

More information about the Covid-19 vaccination programme can be found on the Government's website here.

Dear 'stan e',
Your choice - of course, a stupid, irresponsible and potentially murderous choice reserved for selfish unthinking uninformed idiots. To compensate, please ensure you self isolate throughout 2021.

I took my mum today for her Covid -19 vaccine at Neston Medical Centre and I am grateful to all the staff there for the efficient and professional way they are rolling out this life saving vaccine. I urge everyone to take the vaccine when your call comes to do so, as the mass take up of the vaccine will help end the pandemic.

Thanks Colliery L. My wife and I volunteered at the Surgery to assist people with getting their vaccinations.

It was a very emotional and humbling experience seeing how much it meant to so many people.

I don't know exactly how many people were vaccinated but it was certainly many hundreds. Great news. Protecting the most vulnerable.
