The coronavirus vaccination centre opened at Asda in Watford on Thursday A couple cooped up in their home for the best part of a year could not hide their delight and relief after being given the first dose of their coronavirus vaccine. Maria Waller and her husband Phil were among the first people people to pass through the doors at new Covid vaccination centre at Asda in Watford. The couple had travelled from Berkhamsted for the vaccine after Mr Waller received an invitation letter from the NHS. And as they sat in the observation room for 15 minutes after their jabs on Thursday, the couple, who were among two million people told to shield during the first lockdown, seemed over the moon not only by receiving the jab but also their experience in getting it.
The hub inside Asda officially opened today and has welcomed its first patients through the doors. The NHS-led vaccine centre, run by Asda pharmacy staff, is accepting patients who have received letters from the NHS inviting them for a jab, with patients from across south Hertfordshire being invited to the centre. It is only one of two Asda stores in the country currently running an in-store vaccination centre. Asda tell us the centre in Watford is here for the foreseeable future and they let our sister title the
Watford Observer take a look around to give readers a taste what they can expect if and when they are invited for a jab there.
