THESE are the hospital hubs and GPs administering the coronavirus vaccines across West Sussex. There are six hospitals in the county that will be used in the nationwide vaccination programme, including Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath. Alongside the hubs, there are also 19 GP led services in East Sussex administering the jab. The rollout comes almost a week after a major incident was declared in Sussex over fears the mutant strain could overwhelm services. People are asked not to contact their GP surgery so that their practice team can focus on arranging the vaccinations and provide day to day care for all of their registered patients.
