THE surgery which administered coronavirus vaccinations to six members of staff at National League club Chesterfield acted within NHS guidelines to ensure the jabs were not wasted, an investigation has concluded.
Three players and three non-playing staff were understood to have been given the Pfizer jabs earlier this year at the Stubley Medical Centre in Dronfield.
The matter was investigated by NHS Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which said at the time of opening the probe that it was “unacceptable to jump the queue.”
But it has now concluded that the jabs were administered to the Chesterfield contingent in exceptional circumstances.

THE NHS Covid vaccination programme is stepping up in York as the city prepares to extend its vaccination site at Askham Bar. It will reopen from tomorrow (January 18) as one of the first NHS Vaccination Centres, offering additional vaccinations to people from across the region. Since December 2020 residents within the City of York have been invited by their GP practice to have their vaccination at the the Askham Bar site, which was formerly the Park & Ride. The new extension to the vaccination centre, which will give vaccinations to people within a 45 minute drive, will operate in addition to the GP-led vaccination service. York residents will continue to receive their vaccinations in line with the Government’s priority groups.
