Dr Teshk Nakshbandi from Kingstone Surgery vaccinating local resident Leonard Barwick-Clarke on Saturday morning MORE than 1,000 people were vaccinated against Covid-19 in Herefordshire over the weekend. GPs and nurses from six primary care networks, supported by an organised team of local volunteers, started the first Covid-19 vaccination programme in Ross-on-Wye on Saturday morning, December 19. Clinicians from local surgeries including Alton Street, Pendeen, Fownhope, Much Birch, Golden Valley and Kingstone, worked tirelessly to deliver the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to a total of 359 people on the first day. And by Monday night (December 21) more than 1,000 people were inoculated. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines only have a short shelf-life once delivered to their destinations, so the clinicians had just three days to use all the vials.
