Important Patient Information - Updated 25th Feb, 2021 NHS England are also sending letters to patients about Alternative Vaccination Sites (we have no control over these letters being sent to patients). The Alternative Vaccination Sites are at the Bournemouth International Centre and Morrisons in Yeovil if you already have an appointment through y... our GP at The Atrium Health Centre, please attend that appointment.

If you receive one of these letters, you do not have to have your vaccination at the BIC or in Yeovil. If you would rather have an appointment closer to home, you can choose to do that, and your local GP-led service will be in touch soon to offer this.
