South Gloucestershire now has the highest coronavirus rate in the South West as health chiefs scramble to understand why.
Director of public health Sara Blackmore revealed that the area’s rate of Covid-19 was 148 per 100,000 residents, compared with just 83 for the region as a whole.
Vaccination centres run by GPs will open in Bristol and South Gloucestershire this week, as the roll-out of the biggest immunisation programme in NHS history gains momentum. GPs and other primary care staff have been working round the clock to ensure those most at risk are able to receive the vaccine first, with staff at two sites starting to vaccinate in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. A phased roll-out will continue into the New Year. GP practices have been working together in groups called ‘Primary Care Networks’ to provide the vaccine across the area. People aged 80 and over, as well as care home workers, will be the first to be invited to get the jab – with residents urged to wait their turn to be called.
