Thousands of elderly and vulnerable people have been vaccinated against COVID-19 by GP services in Lincolnshire since the rollout of the jab.
A Louth Hospital volunteer said more than 900 vaccines have been given out across Sunday and Monday, meanwhile, Caythorpe and Ancaster Medical Practice said over 2,000 had also taken place in the south of the county altogether.
Lincolnshire is one of more than 100 parts of the country that are taking delivery of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, but NHS England refuse to specify how many vaccines were administered in our region so far, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday over 500,000 doses have been delivered nationally.
