Keeping safe and more new treatments

Dear Supporter


We wanted to let you know that we are retaining masks, as are St Leonards, so when you come to see us please wear a mask when you enter St Leonards unless you are exempt.  We will still be requiring you to fill in Covid consent forms, and we will be asking your vaccination status so our therapists can be aware.

Although legal restrictions are being lifted on Monday the 19th  Hackney Council is urging residents to keep taking precautions.    There were 976 new confirmed Covid-19 cases in Hackney in the week ending 10 July, the highest since 26 January, and case rates have more than doubled among 20-39 year-olds in just two weeks.   Homerton Hospital has seen a 67% rise in beds occupied by confirmed Covid-19 patients in one week, with an average of 15 patients in the week ending 13 July. 

There are still nearly 16,000 residents over 65 or particularly vulnerable to coronavirus that are yet to receive their first dose of the vaccine, and only 48% of all 16-39 year-olds in Hackney have been fully vaccinated – with many only becoming eligible for the jab in the last month. This means they remain at risk of serious illness from the virus. 

 

If you haven't yet had the vaccine there are nine vaccination sites in Hackney, weekly pop-ups, and walk-in appointments available seven days a week at pharmacies, clinics and community venues like places of worship – and even Clissold Park.

If you are choosing not to have the vaccine we would love to understand why, and we could , if you were interested, host an online event to discuss any fears or concerns you might have.  Please email jackie@hoxtonhealth.org if this is of interest to you.
