A Norwich care home has been able to carry out more than 50 vaccinations in the wake of a coronavirus outbreak.
At Mayflower Court care home, in Bowthorpe, 26 residents were vaccinated alongside 29 members of staff on Thursday, with the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine.
The home is among a number in Norfolk currently dealing with a coronavirus outbreak, which is declared when two or more people have tested positive for the Covid-19.
Any residents currently testing positive for Covid-19 are unable to receive the vaccine at the present time, in line with Government policy. The Government’s aim is for those individuals to be offered the vaccine 28 days from their last positive test date, where possible.
