A staggering 1,152 were given the vaccine over the weekend in Pewsey - and another 1000 are expected to get the Pfizer jab there this coming weekend. The programme has gone better than expected, so now the over 75s are being phoned up in Ramsbury, Marlborough, Burbage, Bedwyn and Pewsey. “We have done 2,100 over 80s and just started the next age cohort on the Astra Zeneca one. By Thursday this week we will have done 200 of the over 75s, and have more clinics planned,” said Ramsbury practice manager Alison Harrod.
The incredible roll-out of vaccines in Devizes has been highlighted in a council meeting this evening.

The first local resident to receive the vaccine was Richard Conroy, at 8.30am, on December 16. Since then, a steady stream of people have been able to access the hub for their vaccinations. During Devizes Town Council’s Recreation and Properties Committee this evening, councillors spoke of how the Corn Exchange was offered to the NHS at the first opportunity. Town Clerk Simon Fisher said: “As part of our support for the NHS we are giving them the building free of charge. It’s quite a significant logistical exercise as you can imagine.
