Dear Colleague
The PHA have just released information leaflets and FAQs online to support patients in the COVID-19 vaccination programme. This information will be incorporated into the next half of the current Living Well campaign “Vaccinations”. However, in the interim, you and your pharmacy team(s) may find the information useful in dealing with queries from the public, in relation to the COVID vaccination programme.
