Covid-19 Vaccination

We are delighted to inform you that we will be part of the “Wave One” Practices in the country to provide the first COVID-19 vaccination programme at General Practice. Abbey Medical Practice is working with other Practices in the locality to deliver vaccinations to all residents in the town.

The practice will be contacting the patients to invite them to be vaccinated in accordance with Government guidance.

This will be via text message or a phone call. If you receive a text message, please click on the link and book the two appointments needed. You will receive a text reminder 24 hours before the booked appointment.

For those who receive a phone call, the member of the Patient Services Team will book both appointments for you. Please ensure you write down the details of the appointment and keep in a safe place. Patients who are housebound or in care homes will be contacted by Northamptonshire Healthcare Trust about their vaccines.

Should you not wish to have the vaccine, please contact the Practice immediately so we may annotate your medical record.

I would like to reassure all of our patients that over the coming months, everyone will be contacted. Please do not contact the practice asking for an appointment.
