Sheffield GP issues urgent advice to anyone who missed Covid jab due to snow

Mathews Practice vaccination centre on Asline Road said they have extra slots to be filled in today, in their hope to make up to those who did not turn up for the jab.

Clinical Director of Primary Care Network, Dr Ollie Hart said more than 100 people had missed their appointments yesterday possibly due to hours of heavy snowfall across the city.
