Bridport Medical Centre is starting to send out text messages to invite people to have the coronavirus vaccine.

The messages - sent to those who are in the eligible cohorts with a recorded mobile phone number - invite patients to book their own appointments.

To update the surgery with your current mobile number or email address, send the details to [email protected]

If you receive an invite but your phone is not able to link through to the booking system, please call your surgery.

You can submit your own news straight to Bridport Nub News by using the 'Nub It' button on our home page. This can also be done for events on our What's On page and businesses, groups and organisations on our Local Listings page , also by using the 'Nub It' button.
