Here is a statement from Councillor Stephen Cooksey, Leader of Mole Valley District Council.
Councillor Stephen Cooksey, Leader of Mole Valley District Council, said: “As you will no doubt have seen in the national news over past couple of days, the NHS has confirmed that the COVID-19 mass vaccination rollout is now moving to include those aged 70 years and over and the Clinically Vulnerable under 70. This should without doubt be recognised as a positive milestone in the fight against this virus. At a local level, Surrey Heartlands NHS is asking for patience from residents. They are continuing to prioritise those 80 and over before contacting patients aged 70-79 and people in the clinically vulnerable groups. This rollout of the vaccine will reach you in the near future so, please, wait until you are contacted by the NHS with an appointment date. There is no need to contact them in order to seek a vaccine.
