Your second Covid vaccination - what do you want to know?

Have you had your first Covid vaccination?

When the vaccination programme started many people had questions - how would they hear about their vaccination? what happens at the vaccination centre? what about transport and parking?

Second vaccinations will start soon. To help make sure people have the information they need we'd like to hear what questions people have. Is there anything you need to know? And were there things about the first vaccination that could be improved?

We want to gather together all the questions people have so the right information is given out as early as possible.

If you have any specific concerns you may find answers at www.surreyheartlands.uk or https://www.frimleyhealthandcare.org.uk/living-here/covid-19-vaccination/

If you have an experience you would like to share with us (not just about your vaccination but about any aspect of health or social care) please visit our website www.healthwatchsurrey.co.uk
