You will have seen the news that the first COVID-19 vaccine for the UK, developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, has today been given approval for use following a thorough review carried out by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). You can read more here and watch a video from MHRA here.
This news has created significant interest in the vaccine and while we wait for national messaging and detailed information on the rollout, we have prepared the following messages for you to use on practice websites and for practice staff. We will also place this on CCG websites.
We will update with national messages and guidance as soon as we have them.
