All Covid vaccination appointments for over 75-year-olds are filled at Milton Keynes Hospital

Anybody in this age group, or in other priority groups, who has not yet received a jab must wait to be contacted their their GP for an appointment.

"Please do not contact the hospital to try and book an appointment," said an MK hospital spokesman today.

Meanwhile patients from a string of GP surgeries across MK are being invited to go for their jab at one of the city's new vaccination centres at Newport Pagnell Medical Centre, Whitehouse Medical Centre, Asplands Medical Centre and Whaddon Healthcare surgeries in Bletchley.

Fully trained vaccinators are administering the jabs. To ensure there is plenty of room for social distancing when waiting it is important that people only attend if they have received an invite from their GP and arrive at the time stated.

Dr Sarah Whiteman, the Medical Director and putative Chair of BLMK CCGs, said: “Delivery of the biggest ever NHS vaccination programme has been a huge undertaking so I am thrilled that we can now say we are administering vaccines to the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes footprint that we cover.

MK hospital is continuing to vaccinate local care home workers and NHS staff. An invitation for vaccination will come to staff via their employer.

"If you believe you are eligible for a vaccination and have not yet been invited, please speak to your employer who should have already received booking details from us," said the spokesman.
