The GP said: "We are very excited to be able to start offering the Covid-19 vaccine to our patients. We are working with The Health Triangle Primary Care Network (PCN) and the other local practices to offer the vaccine to all our patients who are eligible."

Waitrose HQ in Bracknell opened its doors earlier this month to distribute the Covid-19 vaccine to the borough's most vulnerable residents.

It follows the roll-out of a vaccine clinic at Wexham Park Hospital earlier this month to priority and at-risk groups, plus front-line staff.

Ringmead Medical Practice is one of the first GP surgeries in Bracknell to offer the vaccine to its patients.

The surgery has a total of 33,000 local patients and those in order of priority will be vaccinated first.

They added: " At the moment, we are being allocated small amounts of stock across the 33,000 local patients, and have been told the order of priority that we are able to vaccinate in.

"We will contact you to offer you the vaccine - please don't contact us as it will stop people getting through on the phone lines."
