THE acceleration of the coronavirus vaccination programme in Bolton should see all health workers, care home residents and staff who want it given jabs by the end of January, health bosses have said. A board meeting of Bolton’s clinical commissioning group heard medics and support staff are working ‘around the clock’ to ramp up the number of injections given. The meeting heard that of the priority groups currently eligible for vaccination in Bolton there are 12.360 over-80s, 1,456 care home residents, 10,000 health and social care workers, 3,799 care home staff and 5,658 home care workers. Around 3,400 vaccinations, the vast majority to over-80s, have already been administered at centres at Tonge Moor and Lever Chambers and more centres will begin next week.
