The NHS has launched a “large scale” Covid-19 vaccination centre in Cambridgeshire in a bid to accelerate the delivery of the life-saving jab.
Opening today (February 16), the new centre is inside the East of England Showground and is part of one of the biggest NHS programmes in history.
The centre – at the Arena and Events Centre in Peterborough – is an additional option to the centres already across the county, including the Horsefair Shopping Centre in Wisbech.
Also getting her jab today was Louise who wants to protect herself and help the public, the community and the NHS.
“She hopes that since having her vaccine she and everyone else will be able to have more freedom in the future,” said the spokesperson.
André, who works with young people, came to have his vaccine to ensure that he and those around him are protected.
