The Government confirmed that a COVID-19 status certification system will be developed over the coming months which could allow higher-risk settings to be opened up more safely and with more participants. Over the coming months, a system will be developed which will consider three factors: vaccination, a recent negative test, or natural immunity (determined on the basis of a positive test taken in the previous six months). Events pilots will take place from mid-April to trial the system.

The practice are not currently providing evidence of vaccination by certificates or letters. If you would like evidence that you have had the vaccine please download the 'Birmingham and Solihull Health App' where you can view all of the vaccinations you have had in the past. For more information about the app and how to download it visit the NHS Health App page.

Second doses of the vaccine have been changed from 3 to 12 weeks, as per updated government policy. We will contact you with a new appointment, which will be around 12 weeks after the first dose.

The COVID-19 vaccination is now available to our patients. The clinics are currently taking place at:

Harborne Medical Practice (4 York Street, Harborne, B17 0HG). 

It will NOT be available at the UMP.

Please do not call the Practice for an appointment unless you have been instructed to do so by text. We will contact you once the appointments become available to book.

Please note:

• If you have any allergies or have had a bad reaction to food or medicines in the past, you may be advised that you cannot have the vaccine. (If this guidance changes, we will be back in touch with you).
• There has to be a gap of one week between other vaccines (e.g. flu, pneumococcal, travel vaccines) and the COVID-19 vaccine.  
• You will need the second dose of the vaccine. We will contact you when it is time to book this in.
• Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for your appointment.
• As this is a new vaccine we are advised that all patients should be observed for 15 minutes after having the vaccine. 
• Please try and attend on your own if possible - there will be marshals on hand to help and also wheelchairs at Harborne Medical Practice.
