Patients in the Marlborough and Pewsey area are being asked to come forward for a second Covid jab.

The Kennet and Avon Medical Partnership says it wants to encourage all patients and healthcare staff who had their first vaccine at Pewsey surgery in January to come forward for their second vaccine.

KAMP staff are busy contacting patients to ask them to book their second vaccine, but say not all have done so.

"The vaccine provides optimal effectiveness after administration of both doses, so it is very important that patients come forward for their second vaccine," said spokesperson Suzy Deering.

"Please can all relatives and friends of those patients or healthcare workers who had their first vaccine at Pewsey in January please check their second vaccine appointment is booked.

"Clinics are being held in the Marlborough Leisure Centre over the next two weeks with a mini clinic in Pewsey for those unable to travel to Marlborough.

Anyone who had their first vaccine in February will be contacted when we open the next clinics once we know the vaccine delivery dates."
