<p>In order of priority, most United Kingdom residents will be contacted by their

the National Immunisation Management System (NIMS) is used as the national register
of COVID-19 vaccinations. At the point that someone receives their COVID-19 vaccine,
the vaccinating team will record the information on the NIMS system and a patient’s
GP record.</p><p>The top four priority groups – people aged 70 years old and over,
care home residents and staff, health and care staff and clinically extremely vulnerable
patients – have now all been offered the opportunity to be vaccinated.</p>
