Covid Booster Programme Information - UPDATE 

Mid Dorset Primary Care Network has reopened COVID vaccination clinics at the Atrium Medical Centre. There are also clinics at Vespasian House (Top of the Town) and at Pharmacy2U. All these appointments are bookable via the National Booking Service which can be accessed online at National Booking Service Link or by calling 119.

The practice is unable to book appointments on your behalf so please DO NOT contact reception. If you are unable to get an appointment you need to keep trying as new appointments are added all the time.

The clincial staff and the administration team are assisting in the vaccination clinics so this may have some impact on the access to services in the practice in the coming weeks. If you have a condition that is non-urgent please speak to a pharmacist or call 111 for advice.
