MP Gordon Henderson has stepped in after some school teachers in Kent were offered the coronavirus vaccine ahead of others.
Invitations were emailed to schools in Sittingbourne yesterday asking for teachers mobile telephone numbers so they could attend The Chestnuts Surgery in East Street today to have a jab.
The vaccine is currently only available to certain groups - and that does not include teachers
According to Government policy only those in the first phase of the priority group roll out, such as those aged 80 and over and frontline health workers, are entitled to the vaccine at the moment.
