People aged 80 and over as well as care home workers will be amongst the first to receive the vaccine. Vaccinations are being delivered according to priority groups identified nationally by the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). Dr Karen Kirkham, GP, Clinical lead for the Dorset Covid-19 vaccination programme, and Assistant Clinical Director of NHS Dorset CCG, said: “We understand that there is a lot of interest in the Covid-19 vaccination programme and would like to reassure everyone that we are working extremely hard to deliver vaccines in line with the national guidance, so those people who are most at risk get theirs first.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - In a year where people have been waiting for a coronavirus vaccine, a portion of parents seem to be foregoing the common vaccines when it comes to their children.
There are certain vaccines that are required for school-aged children. Those include Hepatitis A and B, DTaP (whooping cough, tetanus) and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella).
“We’re seeing a perfect example of a virus that sort of rears its ugly head and then the only thing that we really have, as a society, is vaccinating as many people as possible to minimize the risk because there are going to be some people who might not be able to get vaccinated,” Dr. Kenneth Perry, the Assistant Medical Director at Summerville Medical Center, said.
