Covid Vaccine
Covid vaccine clinics for those >65 and < 65 years with long term health condition are being held now.
We will be providing covid vaccination clinics most Wednesdays.
Phone now for an appointment.
Second dose clinics will be booked at the time of your first dose appointment.
The Covid vaccine is given in two doses, a minimum of 3 weeks apart.
It is safe and very effective at
1. preventing a Covid 19 infection
2. preventing serious illness if you did still become infected, and
3. reducing the chance of passing on the infection if you did still catch Covid
All of the Wood Street team have received both doses of the vaccine and highly recommend that everyone who is eligible receives the vaccine when they can. There are minimal contraindications and it is a very safe and effective vaccine.
Stay tuned to this page for further updates.
COVID-19 - Level One
Under level 1 alert we are continuing to triage every patient prior to an appointment at the practice. We may require you to wear a mask - this is to protect everyone from respiratory illnesses, especially vulnerable people.
We continue to offer video, telephone and email consultations through the H365 on-line portal, and by telephone. Usual charges will apply. If you have an email you can register for the portal at no charge - please phone reception to register.
It is really important that you tell us before you come in if you have a cough, runny nose, sore throat or a fever .
To request repeat scripts please advise our reception team or request via the portal, and allow 24 hours for these to get to the pharmacy. Please also allow at least 24 hours for the pharmacy to prepare the medications for you.
