Covid-19 Vaccination

You may also be contacted by your local GP practice. Please do not contact your GP practice or local hospital if you haven’t received an invite yet.

Vaccination started in the Shropshire in mid-December. A list of COVID-19 vaccination centres are detailed below, and are also available to view on NHS England’s website:

Hospital Hubs:

• Royal Shrewsbury Hospital run in partnership with Shrewsbury Primary Care Network
• The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital run in partnership with North Shropshire Primary Care Network
• Princess Royal Hospital run by Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) (for frontline health and care staff only)

Local Vaccination Centre GP Services:

• Bridgnorth Medical Centre being delivered by GPs from the South East Shropshire Primary Care Network (group of local GP practices)
• Malinslee Healthcare Centre being delivered by GPs from the Teldoc Primary Care Network (group of local GP practices)

Local Pharmacy Service:

• Woodside Pharmacy, Telford

Those residents that live within 45 minutes of a large vaccination centre (such as Millennium Point in Birmingham), and haven’t already been vaccinated, may receive a letter asking to book an appointment online at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination  or you can call the freephone number contained in the letter.  

If there is another reason you can’t book an appointment at the nearest vaccination centre, you can choose to wait until your local GP services contact you if they haven’t already. If this is your preferred option – you don’t need to do anything now - wait for your GP service to make contact. Or, wait until a more local large vaccination centre becomes available in the coming weeks.

The vaccine will be offered to more people and at other locations across the county as soon as possible. 

By the middle of February, in line with the Prime Minister’s announcement on 4th January, they hope to deliver the vaccine to the four top priority groups . These include all residents in a care home for older adults and their carers, everyone over the age of 70, all frontline health and social care workers, and everyone who is clinically extremely vulnerable.
