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.

The vaccine centre at Jacob s Well, one of almost a dozen around the district THERE are a number of GP practices, hospital hubs and vaccine centres in the Bradford district where people are receiving their Covid-19 jabs. The sites are spread across the district, administering the Covid-19 vaccine to priority groups to protect the most vulnerable members of society from the virus. Over 80s, extremely vulnerable people and frontline NHS and care workers are currently at the front of the line for vaccines. These are all the vaccine centres as of January 10, more may be added in the next update.
