We have unsurprisingly been seeing an increased number of questions regarding the Covid Vaccine.
Wycliffe is proudly working with over 20 other central Plymouth GP Practices to deliver the vaccine at Plymouth Pavilions as well as some directly to care homes.
We have been successfully supporting vaccination clinics at The Pavilions since the government launched the vaccination programme.

Unfortunately these vaccines are not like the flu vaccines that come fully prepared for use.
There are complexities around transport and storage, their preparation and the observation time required after receiving the jab.
As such larger centres with more space and working at scale is currently more effective, that may change over time with different vaccines becoming available. There is also a supply going to the Hospital so some people may get invited to go there.

Sadly, we do not know when we will get more vaccines, how many or at what frequency. It is likely this will continue to be small batches at short notice when supplies become available.
This is central government strategy that we are not party to and the rate of which we can vaccinate is therefore beyond our control.

We understand many people are eager to be vaccinated but kindly request that patients do not contact the surgery to book or enquire about the vaccination.

We will be in contact directly with patients who are eligible, to arrange dates as soon as they have been confirmed.
Due to the vaccination stock supply it will take time to get to everyone in each group, please rest assured that you will be on the list and you will get an invite.

Please do be aware you may get a call inviting you at short notice if we get allocated more deliveries.
If you are unable to make a clinic at short notice you will remain on the list until we get another delivery.

We thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
Please keep checking our website for the most up to date information.

Please see below for criteria details and the order that we are working through people as centrally directed by the government, *but please note across Plymouth there are many thousands in each category.
