COVID BOOSTER VACCINATIONS
02.11.21
Local people no longer have to wait to receive an invitation from the NHS to have their COVID-19 booster vaccination.
Now, anyone in an eligible group who had their 2nd dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least six months ago, which is Easter-time/mid-April or before, can go to a walk-in, no-appointment clinic for a booster vaccination, book via the national NHS website or call 119.
Previously, people had to wait to receive a letter or text from the NHS saying they were eligible.
The number of locations where people can have their booster vaccination has also been increased, including many local pharmacies now offering booked appointments, in addition to around 60 walk-in clinics which are taking place locally over the coming weeks – full details at www.sneevaccine.org.uk

16.07.21IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is important for the public to continue to play their part when visiting The Reynard Surgery to help protect our staff and patients, particularly those who may be more vulnerable to infections.
As from Monday 19th July will be following Public Health England’s infection prevention control guidelines. All staff, patients and visitors to the practice will be expected to continue to follow social distancing rules when entering the surgery.
Face coverings will remain in place for staff, patients and visitors at the surgery so that the most vulnerable people can continue to be safe when they attend the practice.
SUFFOLK ON BOARD TRAVEL VOUCHERS
We recognise that there are a number of people who can't access the benefits of free travel on conventional bus services like other residents who qualify for and use a bus pass do.
This could either be for reasons of severe disability or the fact that due to their location, such services are unavailable to them.
The council therefore offers a benefit to those persons in the form of travel vouchers that can be used towards the use of community transport, taxis or private hire vehicles.
The value of the vouchers issued is £100 per annum.
NHS DIGITAL OPT OUT
The national data opt-out was introduced on 25 May 2018, enabling patients to opt out from the use of their data for research or planning purposes, in line with the recommendations of the National Data Guardian in her Review of Data Security, Consent and Opt-Outs.
Patients can view or change their national data opt-out choice at any time by using the online service at www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters or by clicking on "Your Health" in the NHS App, and selecting "Choose if data from your health records is shared for research and planning".
