COVID-19 vaccination available at PAHT

The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now available for all PAHT colleagues. You are encouraged, for those who can, to take the opportunity to be vaccinated and protect yourself, your loved ones and our patients. It is important that you provide your NHS number, either when you complete your online consent form, or when you attend for your appointment. This is particularly important for staff who are not formally employed by the Trust, i.e. contractors, as it is not possible to carry out a search if they are not on our systems.

All people who work at PAHT (on all sites) will be able to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine here, on the main site at PAH. It is available to everyone, regardless of role, via a booking system. Please book an appropriate appointment for yourself as soon as possible, as we want to ensure the maximisation of all available slots to ensure we do not waste any of the vaccine.

We will be running doctor led clinics on certain days for staff who carry Epipens.

Please contact Michael Snares at: michael.snares@nhs.net with your details so you can be allocated one of these slots.

Priority will be given to:

colleagues who are clinically extremely vulnerable colleagues working in high risk areas, including the emergency department, critical care, and the COVID-19 wards Other patient facing colleagues

All vaccines will be administered in the new Fracture Clinic at The Princess Alexandra Hospital, lower ground floor (A31), between the restaurant and maternity - there will be clear signage and social distancing will be maintained. Everyone should have now received an email from noreply@ microcaretechnologies.co.uk with a link to complete the online consent form and book your appointment for your first and second dose.

It is essential before you book your first appointment that you take note of the exclusion criteria detailed in the email you will receive with the consent form. If you would like any further advice, please contact the staff health and wellbeing team via

paht.shawcovid19@nhs.net.
