Today the first NHS large vaccination centre in Essex opens, as part of the nationwide efforts to vaccinate the population against Covid-19.
The centre in Runwell, in Wickford, is one of the first in the East of England to help with the vaccinations of the over-80s and those who work in health and social care.
It is in addition to the existing hospital hubs and GP-led vaccination services already offering vaccinations across Essex, with more being established soon.
John Baron MP said:
“I welcome the opening of this large vaccination centre in Runwell, which should enable a step change in the number of vaccinations in our county. We are in a race against the virus to inject people quicker than it infects them, and there is not a moment to lose. So far we have made good progress, and this new centre will accelerate this still further.”
