Staff at a University have helped train more than 600 people in less than a month to carry out Covid-19 vaccinations. Middlesex University has been leading the major vaccination training programme for the North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (NCL CCG). The project began on December 9th last year and staff have been working in a strict Covid-19 secure environment on the main Hendon campus in north London. They have been teaching qualified healthcare professionals and new vaccinators recruited from the general public how to administer both the government-approved Oxford-Astra Zeneca and Pfizer vaccines. After completing the training, the vaccinators will be ready to work at the planned large new vaccination hubs in North Central London.

Some fear they could catch the virus while travelling for a jab (Image: Pixabay) Elderly people have raised concerns that travelling long distances for a coronavirus jab could put them at risk of catching the virus. The vaccine to provide immunity against Covid-19 is currently being offered to people over 70 and those considered clinically extremely vulnerable in Enfield and across the country. But this means some face long journeys by taxi or public transport to travel to a vaccination centre. It has led to fears people could catch the virus on the journey – and, coupled with the cost of travel, that could put them off having the jab.
