Hundreds of local people have been the first to receive the new Covid-19 vaccination in North Devon.
A steady stream of people aged 80 and over arrived at the mass vaccination facility set up at North Devon Leisure over three days this week, with Thursday, December 31 the final day.
Everyone who attended was contacted by the NHS with their appointment time and people have been reminded once again NOT to call themselves – those eligible will be contacted when it is their turn.
The vaccination centre was run by staff from 14 GP practices from across North Devon and Torridge, with patients attending from as far afield as Lynton and Hartland.
