As you will appreciate at this time when the Practice is stretched, we do not have the resources to provide letters to confirm to an employer et al that patients fall into a vulnerable group.
Details of Extremely Vulnerable patients that need to be shielded are detailed on our recent news page here:
These patients should be receiving a letter from the NHS (not the Practice) shortly.
Those patients previously referred to as simply “vulnerable” is best defined as those who would normally receive an NHS Flu Vaccination.
Further information is also available at NHS.UK here
Employers are expected to show appropriate good practice in administering this, sick pay etc with their employees.
Thank you
