Worcestershire County Council said cases had not been traced back to international travel. In an update through Ross-on-Wye community development trust, Dr Lennane also warned GPs were incredibly busy, partly because of the Covid-19 vaccination programme. NHS data shows 53,150 people had received both jabs by May 2 – 33 per cent of those aged 16 and over, based on the latest population estimates from the Office for National Statistics.

HUNDREDS of people have been given their first coronavirus jab in Leominster today, with the hardworking NHS relieved to be able to do so. Six GP surgeries from north Herefordshire, and Tenbury Wells, have come together to offer Covid-19 vaccinations at Leominster s Bridge Street Sports Centre, and have been working at the site on several days since mid-December. The north and west Herefordshire primary care network set-up the site, with many working late into the night, so patients in the top priority groups can be jabbed. Working with the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccination on Thursday, Kington Medical Practice GP Dr Silvana McCaffrey said patients from a vast rural area were being seen at the central site.
