Older residents received their first coronavirus vaccine jab at Bridport Medical Centre as more than 1,700 people were vaccinated over a day dubbed ‘Super Saturday’.
As previously reported, the Jurassic Coast Healthcare Team has expanded its vaccination programme and held the first of several major clinics for people aged 75-79 yesterday. It comes after the supply of the AstraZeneca vaccine was increased. Earlier in the week, the Jurassic Coast Healthcare Team said it wanted to vaccinate between 1,500-2,000 people each day at the clinics. The centre previously said the large volume of vaccinations poses a huge logistical challenge both within the medical centre but also with car parking at the centre and traffic in the surrounding roads.
