“The vaccination clinic we are running at the Port of Poole together with the other central Poole surgeries is running 
really smoothly, and seems to have been well received by our patients.
“We have received a lot of very kind messages and emails from patients, which means such a lot to the whole team.
“We have been supported gallantly by a fabulous band of Volunteers – who have remained in good spirits despite the freezing weather.
“Poole Harbour Commissioners have been incredibly supportive throughout, and we couldn’t have done any of this without them. PRC Streamline Group are very kindly offering a discounted rate for patients to and from the Covid clinic.
