Eligible patients will be contacted by their GP surgery to come forward for their vaccination.

Vaccinations for People with Learning Disabilities
Herefordshire General Practice, Healthwatch Herefordshire and Herefordshire Health Checkers have worked together to develop a video that encourages people with learning disabilities to take up the opportunity to receive vaccinations, including for Covid19.
The video features members of Herefordshire Health Checkers and provides reassurance on some of the most common worries about vaccinations expressed by people with learning disabilities.
The support available at surgeries for patients with learning disabilities is also outlined. This can include requesting reasonable adjustments such as quieter appointment times or bringing a trusted family member or friend with them to their appointment.
The Herefordshire Health Check Team says:
"Going for a ... vaccination isn't easy for everyone and it can make people feel anxious, worried, scared and unsure of what to expect.
"We have put together (a) short film(s) to tell you more about ..... vaccinations so that you know more about them and what to expect from them and why it is so important to keep your body healthy."
