Community COVID-19 vaccinations

Update July 21st

South West Healthcare has administered 22,060 COVID-19 vaccinations across the south west region since 10th March 2021. A total of 1571 vaccinations were administered last week which included 1st and 2nd dose Astra Zeneca and 1st and 2nd dose Pfizer vaccines.

The South West community has been very proactive with COVID-19 vaccine uptake and SWH have experienced overwhelming positivity from the community in regards to COVID-19 vaccination. SWH encourages people to keep the south west community safe by getting vaccinated against COVID-19. We encourage those who have been administered with their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine to book and attend their second dose appointment to ensure they are fully vaccinated.

If you are unsure or undecided about receiving COVID-19 vaccination please make an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns and assist you with decision making.
