Covid-19 Vaccination now open for 55’s & over

March 11th, 2021

On Thursday (March 11), the local covid-19 vaccination booking system will open to residents aged 55 and over.

From 9am people aged 55 and over will be able to book their Covid-19 vaccination appointment by visiting the local booking link or by calling the local booking line on 0115 883 4640 between 8am – 8pm during weekdays and 9am – 5pm on weekends. Over 55s can also call the National Booking Service on 119 or use the national booking link to book an appointment at the large-scale Mansfield Vaccination Centre or their nearest pharmacy-led site.

If you are aware of a person over 55, or in a previous cohort that has not received their letter please urge them to book their vaccine as soon as possible.

Message from Dr John Brewin 

 

Dr John Brewin, Chief Executive, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Joint Senior Responsible Officer for Covid-19 Vaccine, said: “We are pleased to be able to invite everyone who is over the age of 55 forward for their Covid-19 vaccination.

“I would like to assure you that we have plenty of vaccines available and there is enough for everyone so please do book your appointment as soon as possible if you are eligible.

“Anyone who is eligible can book in for their vaccination via the local booking site or by calling 0115 883 4640. I would urge anyone in this category to take up vaccination to help protect themselves against Covid-19.

“People in the priority groups which have already been announced have not missed their chance to get jabbed. If you haven’t yet taken up the offer, please do come forward and make an appointment – the vaccine is safe, simple, and will offer you and those around you the best protection against this virus. It is never too late to change your mind if you have previously said no.”

How you can help? 

Please urge all those aged 55 and over to book their covid-19 vaccination. A helpful guide on how to book can be found here.

Please also use these FAQs to answer any questions.

Temporary road closure in Langar

March 2nd, 2021

Hello

Please see the attached the latest update regarding a temporary  road closure in Langar.

Temporary road closure – Langar

Latest updates regarding Covid-19

February 23rd, 2021

Following the announcement given by the Prime Minister yesterday regarding the roadmap, please find here a link to the final publication and the summary version. Headlines from the Government’s press release are also included below for your information.

  • The roadmap outlines four steps for easing restrictions, details of what each stage entails are included in the publicised roadmap. Before proceeding to the next step, the government will examine the data to assess the impact of previous easements. This assessment will be based on four tests which are that:

o   The vaccine deployment programme continues successfully.

o   Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated.

o   Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS.

o   The government’s assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new Variants of Concern.

  • The four tests are currently being met so the first step will proceed from 8 March, at which point the top four priority cohorts for vaccinations – as determined by the independent JCVI – will have received a degree of immunity, three weeks after being offered their first dose.
  • Due to the current, relatively uniform spread of the virus across the country, restrictions will be eased step-by-step across the whole of England at the same time.
  • The roadmap seeks to balance between social and economic impacts, whilst preserving the health and safety of the country. Outdoor settings are known to be lower risk than indoor, so outdoor activities will be opened earlier than indoor ones.
  • MPs will have an opportunity to vote on the regulations that will enable this roadmap in Parliament in the coming weeks.
  • The government continue to work closely with the Devolved Administrations. They are setting out approaches for easing for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
