210 no-shows in two days at Knaresborough vaccine centre
Homecare Pharmacy Services is urging people to 'be considerate of others who are desperately trying to get appointments' by cancelling if they are unable to attend.
Homecare Pharmacy Services' vaccination
The pharmacy that operates Knaresborough's vaccine centre has urged people not to waste appointment slots after a spate of no-shows.
Homecare Pharmacy Services posted on its Facebook page today 210 people had failed to turn up for appointments in the last two days.
It added:
"We need these appointments for patients within our community who are struggling to get a vaccination.
"Please, please cancel your appointment if you are not planning on attending."
Anyone unable to attend can cancel their booking online here, or by calling 119, the pharmacy added.
It is the second time the centre, which operates in the car park of the town's former Lidl, has appealed to patients to honour bookings.
It posted on March 16 that 60 people failed to show at a clinic, adding:
"Please be considerate of others who are desperately trying to get appointments in the area."
Homecare's site last month became the third vaccine centre in the Harrogate district to open.
It administered its 5,000th vaccination on March 21.
