Sheffield medical practice sends message to patients after cancelling vaccinations

Sheffield City Council confirmed this afternoon’s appointments for vulnerable people to get a jab at The Healthcare Surgery on Palgrave Road have been postponed.

The Council said anyone with an appointment will be contacted regarding the cancellation.

A spokesperson for the surgery said: “We have taken the regrettable decision to cancel today’s clinic due to the adverse weather.

"We will contact patients over the next couple of days to rearrange.”

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Sheffield, which is in place until 9pm tonight.

Public transport across the city has been ‘severely disrupted’ by the snow, with buses, trams and some train journeys suspended.

More than 50 South Yorkshire schools have also been forced to close to children of key workers.

Sheffield could see more heavy snow on Saturday, with a weather warning also in place.
