Credit: Bob Redman Nearly a quarter of Borehamwood’s residents have been given at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to NHS data. Figures published by NHS England show 7,894 people living in the town had at least one of their two jabs by February 21. This includes a little over 3,000 residents aged over 70. The data also shows a further 6,660 residents across Elstree, Radlett, Aldenham, Shenley, and South Mimms have had the first jab. Data suggests around a third of Bushey s population have received at least one jab. A full breakdown across Hertsmere, including by age, can be found further down.

Potters Bar residents are currently directed to Borehamwood for their vaccines, which is less than 10 miles away and has been selected as the GP-led vaccination centre for the whole of Hertsmere.
Allum Hall was chosen because it could safely accommodate patients while maintaining social distancing, vaccine storage and easy access, according to Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group.
GPs across Hertsmere are involved in providing this service and when patients are contacted by their GP practice to book a vaccination their appointments for the first and second dose will be at the Allum Hall site.
The second mass vaccination centre in Hertfordshire has opened today in a push to make more vaccination slots possible. While smaller vaccination centres have opened in the local area, some residents might be asked to book slots at Hertfordshire’s mass vaccination centres. Avanti Meadows Primary School, a new school in Bishops Stortford, will utilise its unused space as a Covid-19 mass vaccination centre from today (February 1). The school was set to first open in the September 2020 Autumn term, but the school is now expected to open by September 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead of leaving the grounds unused, Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust (HCT) is using its car park and the school itself to administer the vaccine.
