There are some people with a weakened immune system who may be eligible for anti viral medication if they have covid infection, click here for more detail. If you are attending the GP surgery or are out and about with symptoms of a respiratory infection please consider the following advice.
The following actions will reduce the chance of passing on your infection to others:
- wearing a well-fitting face covering made with multiple layers or a surgical face mask
- avoiding crowded places such as public transport, large social gatherings, or anywhere that is enclosed or poorly ventilated
- taking any exercise outdoors in places where you will not have close contact with other people
- covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze; wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose and before you eat or handle food; avoid touching your face.
Resolving Missing or Incorrect Vaccination Records
The Vaccine Data Resolution Service (VDRS) has been set up to resolve missing or incorrect vaccination records for people vaccinated in England. If you believe you have missing or incorrect COVID-19 vaccination data, please call 119 and ask the call agent to make a referral to the VDRS team on your behalf. The VDRS team will then call you back within 5 working days.
119 and VDRS call agents will not provide clinical advice and cannot assist at this time with queries related to vaccinations received overseas. If the query relates to personal information that is incorrect on your record (e.g. name, address), these will still need to be resolved by your GP practice.
