A spokesperson from Abbey Medical Centre said: "A big thank you for all the support messages we have received from our patients. The whole practice team are totally committed to rolling out the vaccination programme as quickly as possible.

"We would also like to say a really big thank you to all our patients who are either volunteers or coordinating the volunteers, we really couldn't do this without your continued support.

"Also thank you to the The Warwickshire for not only allowing use of their building but to their staff who have helped maintain safe access to the building throughout and whilst the venue is currently closed, the staff have continued to attend site and offered endless support to us."

Patients are also being reminded that patients will be contacted by their GP surgeries, either via text message (if their mobile phone numbers are registered), or via a telephone call if not.
