Exactly 10 days on from vaccinating 5,000 people, Queen s and King George hospitals have literally doubled their efforts to reach the 10,000 milestone.
That works out as 500 vaccines administered per day since January 11, with the pace being ramped up since passing the 5,000 mark.
Previously, it was averaging 185 per day since the programme started. Now, since the hub opened on December 15, the Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) have been administering 270 vaccines a day.
Robert Read, who works for the North East London Foundation Trust in its equipment services department, was overcome with emotion after receiving his jab - and also received a complimentary tub of Celebrations for being the 10,000th person.
The healtcare workers who have died from Covid-19 At least 220 frontline health and care workers have been identified after dying with coronavirus. Through tributes from loved ones and confirmation through sources such as local NHS trusts and other authorities, the PA news agency has confirmed the names of health and social care workers who have died after contracting Covid-19 since March 11 2020. This chronological list contains people who were working in roles shortly before their deaths where they were likely to come into contact with patients. The figure is likely to be lower than the true number of workers who have died, as the names of some victims will not yet be in the public domain.
