Almost five months after the world s first coronavirus vaccine was administered here in the UK, more than 50 million doses have been given out across the country.
Since December, hundreds of thousands of sleeves have been rolled up in Norfolk and Waveney, and a significant proportion of its most vulnerable and elderly residents are fully vaccinated.

Another person left frustrated in recent days was a man from Norwich, who said he was initially offered a jab in either Downham Market, Wisbech and Ingoldmells in Lincolnshire - varying from 40 to 100 miles away.
A week later, having checked the site on a regular basis, finally got an appointment in Attleborough on Friday (April 23).
The 46-year-old has, however, been able to book his second jab at the large-scale site in the city s Castle Quarter Shopping Centre.
Having received his vaccine, he said: The staff at the vaccination centre were great and it was all very efficiently done.
