Over 5,000 Armed Forces personnel are now deployed on the largest ever peacetime resilience operation, across all four of the home nations and focused on three strands of the Covid response - testing, vaccines and clinical support for the NHS.
20 Vaccine Quick Reaction Force teams have now been deployed and a further 21 are standing-up to double the Armed Forces support available for vaccinating.

The facility, located at Glasgow Life s Donald Dewar building, will be one of four in the city to join the NHS Louisa Jordan in rolling out the vaccine. The Drumchapel centre should be ready to open by early February, with the capacity to vaccinate around 1000 people per day. Soldiers of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards were pictured at the leisure facility as they worked alongside staff from City Building to transform the sports hall into a coronavirus vaccination hub.
