The biggest immunisation campaign in history is gathering pace and a mass vaccination centre has opened Peterborough.
Over six million people in the UK have had a first dose and a record-breaking 491,970 people were vaccinated in a single day over the weekend. By the time you read this those numbers will have significantly increased, so it’s an amazing effort and we are leading Europe.
I would urge everyone to accept their appointment invite, get the jabs done and help control the spread of the virus which remains prevalent in our city.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam has warned that vaccinated people may still spread the virus, so everyone must continue to follow the national guidelines for case numbers to reduce, whether you’ve had the vaccine or not.
