Gordon and Shirley Hetherington marked their Diamond wedding anniversary by having vaccinations at Northallerton ONE of the first Covid-19 community vaccination centres set up in the country is to close next month after delivering more than 70,000 jabs. Clinical leaders have lauded the GP led vaccination centre at the Forum in Northallerton as a phenomenal success , but from June 21 the site is being returned to use as a community centre. Other vaccination centres and a pharmacy will play a bigger role instead. Dr Sally Tyrer, GP partner at Thirsk s Lambert Medical Centre and clinical director of Hambleton South Primary Care Network, said: It s been phenomenally successful. As the programme moves towards vaccinating younger and more mobile cohorts, we re already seeing evidence people are choosing to book via the national booking service, rather than waiting to be contacted by their GPs.
