THE vaccine rollout is well and truly underway across the borough and hundreds have already received their coronavirus jabs. The borough’s first community vaccination centre opened on December 15 in Prestwich, while a further centre opened in Radcliffe opened its doors over the weekend. Around 900 people were vaccinated at the site in Bealey’s in the first three days since it opened. At time of print, a total of 1,975 have had the jab across the borough since the vaccinations were rolled out. Lesley Jones, Bury’s director of public health, added: “While the arrival of a safe and effective vaccine is great news, it will take months for the vaccine to be rolled out across the country and to all age groups.
