Pixabay HEALTH chiefs say Covid-19 vaccines have now been offered to residents at every eligible care home with older residents across the Black Country and West Birmingham. Coronavirus jabs have been offered to people living at more than 330 care homes with older residents, a spokesman for Black Country and West Birmingham CCGs confirmed today (Tuesday). A small number of homes have had their visits deferred by local directors of public health for safety reasons during an outbreak of the virus, it has been confirmed, but health bosses say these facilities will be visited and vaccines administered as soon as NHS staff are allowed to visit.
After weeks of planning, the vaccination centre was finally getting up and running today (Monday January 25). Councillor Nicolas Barlow, Dudley Council s cabinet member for health and adult social care at Dudley Council, hailed the opening of the centre as “fantastic news and he said: It s a real game changer in our fight across the borough against the coronavirus. “Having the Black Country Living Museum on board as a vaccination centre will greatly increase the amount of jabs we can deliver, and the speed at which we can administer them. It will make people safer from this deadly virus more quickly.
