NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG would like to reassure the public that NHS staff and volunteers across the county continue to work hard to vaccinate eligible people.

As a result of a reduced vaccine supply over the next week, there have been a limited number of appointments available. We anticipate that vaccine supply will increase significantly over the next few weeks and we will adjust our appointment availability accordingly.

An NHS spokesperson said: “The Covid-19 vaccination programme in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire has made considerable headway over the last few weeks and we would like to thank everyone involved for their continued support.

“Fluctuations in vaccine supply has been planned for and factored into the planning of the vaccine rollout. The availability of appointments will vary in response to the supply we are allocated.

“We would advise that if there is no availability at the site you want to visit, you should keep checking back each day as new appointments are released on a regular basis.

“The public have been incredibly supportive of the vaccination programme, and understand the limitations of vaccine supply – we would like to thank everyone for their continued support.”

We continue to deliver vaccinations at targeted GP-led clinics in communities of lower uptake to encourage anyone eligible who has not yet received their vaccination to come forward. In the meantime staff in vaccination centres will be working hard to prepare operationally ahead of imminent increased vaccine deliveries.

The CCG is still urging those in the priority groups to book a vaccine, these include: over 60s, carers, those who are clinically extremely vulnerable and clinically vulnerable as well as frontline health and social care staff. Please keep checking for the next available appointments.
