Constable Country Medical Practice, in East Bergholt, turned into a vaccination hub earlier this month. It started vaccinating patients about two weeks ago and has also been giving the vaccine to house bound patients. A statement from the surgery said: “We are happy to say that we have achieved 90 to 95 per cent coverage in patients within the first four priority groups. “We have also been doing house bound patients and have achieved about 80 per cent coverage there too. “This would not have been possible without our volunteers as well as staff and we would like to say a big thank you to them for all their support and kindness.”

A CARE home boss has said it is a “huge relief” after her residents and dedicated workers were finally vaccinated against coronavirus. Crouched Friars Residential Home, in Crouch Street, Colchester, provides around the clock dementia and residential care for the elderly. The facility was visited by two general practitioners who immunised 39 residents and four staff with the AstraZeneca vaccine. The home was one of the first in region to receive the vaccine which marked a crucial milestone for the home nine months after it first went into lockdown. Suzanne Walton, 75, who is a resident at Crouched Friars, was one of the first to receive what she has described as the relatively painless Covid-19 jab.
