PLANS to bring a coronavirus vaccine centre to Halstead remain in doubt after contradicting reports. Residents in the Halstead area will have to travel to Earls Colne in order to get their jabs after it was confirmed the Pump House Surgery in the village is the area’s primary vaccine centre. With the Earls Colne Centre opening last Thursday, residents in Halstead and villages such as Sible Hedingham raised concerns about the distance vulnerable residents would be forced to travel to get the vaccine. Some residents were left hoping for a centre to open in Halstead to spare vulnerable residents travelling the long distances.
