Tain and Fearn Area Medical Practice shares update on Covid-19 vaccine rollout and issues appeal to two groups of patients

AN Easter Ross medical practice has provided its patients with an update on its Covid-19 vaccine rollout – and reached out to the "at risk" group.

Tain and Fearn Area Medical Practice said it has now started working its way through the 55-59 years of age category for vaccinations.

And it posted: "There are still quite a number of the At Risk category that we have been unable to reach by telephone.

"We have sent texts and posted letters to try and catch everyone but if you feel that you have been missed, or even if you have received a letter or text but have decided you do not wish to have the vaccine, please get in touch and let us know."

It has also issued another reminder that the number it calls from may show up as 'withheld' or be an 0800 number or an 89**** number.

It said: "Please try and answer this call so we can make an appointment for you.

"If you are over 60 and have not yet received a phone call from us, please get in touch with the reception staff as we do have a small number of patients that we have been unable to reach by phone and have sent letters to.

"Please share this message to make your friends and relatives aware if they do not have Facebook themselves. Thank you for your help."
