Coronavirus support

IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE

In view of the debate over whether the priority should now be to give more people the first dose of the vaccine I have been informed by Charing Surgery that those of you who have already received your first COVID-19 vaccination from Charing Surgery on 18th or 19th December and have a date of 8th or 9th of January for your second dose should still attend to receive it.
