Thousands of people turned up in a rush to claim surplus Covid-19 vaccine stock at a Walthamstow vaccination centre.
Walthamstow Library vaccinated 3,000 people yesterday (March 31) after the call-out for local people for spare vaccines, who were prioritised based on risk.
The library was met with long queues, and several Twitter users reported that it took up to two hours long.
This came after Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy tweeted about the extra supply, saying: “Walthamstow there is extra supply of Covid-19 vaccine today at the library.
“If you are 50+; 18+ with a health condition; a carer; a health and social care or blue light worker you can walk in before 6.30pm for 1st vaccine. Bring NHS number and evidence of the category you are in!”
