Across Keighley and Ilkley 28.3 per cent of the population have received a vaccine. Everyone in the top four priority groups has now been offered a vaccine, as invites are now going out those in priority groups 5 to 9. The latest figures now show that two thirds of those aged 65 to 69 have now been vaccinated. Mr Moore has also welcomed the Prime Minister’s roadmap to take cautious and irreversible steps out of lockdown. He said: “The NHS vaccination programme, the biggest in our country’s history, has been a fantastic success story and showcases the very best of collaboration across the entire United Kingdom. I would like to thank everyone involved in this enormous effort, without whom, this would not be possible.

THIS week’s MPs column comes from Robbie Moore, Conservative MP for Keighley and Ilkley. It has been over 10 months since the Prime Minister announced to the nation that we would enter our first national lockdown. Since then the nation – like the rest of the world – has battled to keep this deadly virus under control. It has been a sad start to the year for our nation as the death toll surpassed 100,000. My thoughts go out to every family across the country who has lost somebody to this indiscriminatory virus. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel with the rollout of the Covid vaccination programme which is the largest vaccination programme the NHS has ever run.
