All care home residents in Camden have now received a Covid jab, when accepted, according to the council leader.
Cllr Georgia Gould said on Monday that Camden GPs have now vaccinated just under 5,000 patients, as the council “stands ready” to support residents through the pandemic.
The borough leader said that more than 100 council staff have been redeployed to carry out lateral flow tests, with a team of 30 helping to set up testing for schools and 46 officers now in a business support role.
Cllr Gould said: “We are seeing over 1,000 people each week call the council who are in need of support whether it is mental health, access to food or other needs. We are doing all we can with our amazing community partners to support people through this difficult time.
