“Being there at the time, it was an incredibly emotional moment and one I will never forget. “From that point, the team have set about vaccinating the over 80s in our community, care home staff, and indeed many of our frontline staff. “Just a month later, earlier this week, the team were able to give their 10,000th dose. Which is just phenomenal, an outstanding achievement in such a short space of time.” Frimley Health NHS celebrated the milestone by posting a picture of the 10,000th recipient on their Facebook page. Julie, a sister at Thames Hospice, received her dose at the Wexham Park hub on Thursday, January 14.
