I think the uptake s been a little bit slow, with regards to care home staff particularly. I think there was a little bit of reluctance. The vaccine is new and it s about getting the message out there that it s safe and the safest thing to do is actually have the vaccine. The CCG is also running a vaccination programme for members of the public in West Berkshire and the over 80s are the first in line. Staff will begin vaccinating people from Newbury Racecourse next week and they are aiming to administer the jab to all the over 80s by the end of January.

Suffolk s resilience forum has issued a plea for people to comply with Tier 4 rules over New Year, as the county reaches a critical point in its coronavirus battle.
The resilience forum, made up of local authorities, police and health agencies, made the plea as Suffolk continues to see record numbers of coronavirus cases – with the latest wave of coronavirus putting increased strain on the local healthcare system.
As of December 30, 327 people were being treated for the virus in Suffolk s hospitals – while around 370 people are testing positive for the virus in the county every day on average.
Tier 4 restrictions
Non-essential retail, indoor gyms and leisure facilities, and personal care services to close
Work from home if you can but you may travel to work if this is not possible
Those who are extremely clinically vulnerable are advised to stay at home at all times, unless for exercise or medical appointments, and not to attend work, even if they are unable to work from home
Do not enter or leave Tier 4 areas, and Tier 4 residents must not stay overnight away from home.
Individuals can only meet one person from another household in an outdoor public space. Councillor Keith Mans, the leader of Hampshire County Council and chair of the Local Outbreak Engagement Board, said: “Central Government has confirmed that the whole of our local authority area will be under Covid-19 Tier 4 restrictions, from 31 December.
