Sarah Parren, hub manager at Lakeside Healthcare, said: “Our first week of vaccinations has gone well with lots of our most vulnerable patients getting vaccinated. Our staff and volunteers have done an amazing job in both booking patients in, supporting patients, as well as giving the vaccines too.”
Two GP practices in St Neots will open their Covid-19 vaccination services this week, as the roll out of the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history.
