"Chaos" at Oldham Covid vaccination centre as elderly and vulnerable patients left queuing outside in the rain
Date published: 16 December 2020
Queues for the Covid vaccination started early this morning
Oldham's vaccination programme has been described as "chaotic" by patients who have waited up to an hour to receive their Covid jab.
The vaccinations are being delivered at Barley Clough Medical Centre on Glodwick Road.
Queues began to form shortly after the 8am opening time, and have continued all day. Scores of elderly and high-risk patients have been left waiting outside in the wind and rain whilst staff inside struggle to maintain social distancing.
