ROUGH sleepers and those in emergency accommodation have been receiving the coronavirus vaccine, thanks to an outreach programme by Newbury Soup Kitchen.
Meanwhile, Newbury Vaccination Centre has clarified a statement by Newbury MP Laura Farris which claimed “all care home residents and staff in West Berkshire have been vaccinated”.
As word spread about the outdoor clinic in Newbury last week, more and more turned up for the jab.
Soup kitchen founder Meryl Praill said West Berkshire Council was among those local authorities which decided to prioritise homeless people for vaccination.
