COVID-19 infection frequently leaves people feeling tired and weak, with shortness of breath and muscle pain performing simple tasks. Many also feel anxious or even depressed. Recovery can take longer than expected, and it can feel like you’ll never get back to normal. Listen to your body to help you find the right balance between rest and activity while you get better.

All patients will be receiving the Pfizer vaccination, regardless of the vaccination they had last time so there will be the requirement to wait on site for 15 minutes after you have been vaccinated. There are options for where you get your vaccination but most clinics will take place at the Riviera Centre in Torquay - Click here for a video of what to expect at the Riviera Centre. 

Home isn’t always a safe place. Schools closing could put some children at greater risk of abuse and neglect.
