COVID-19 vaccines rolled out across north CumbriaÂ
Alex Crawford and Lucy Thornton
Every primary care network across north Cumbria is now delivering COVID-19 vaccines to over-80s and care home residents and staff.
There are eight networks â groups of GP practices working together in local areas â and the vaccine is now being delivered from nine locations.
The teams are also visiting local care homes and the homes of housebound patients and those with mobility issues, to ensure the most vulnerable residents get the vaccine.
Primary care teams, including GPs, practice nurses, pharmacists, healthcare workers, admin staff and a significant number of volunteers from a range of organisations, have worked together to get the new hubs up and running.
THE Romsey community stands ready once again to pull together to keep the rollout of coronavirus vaccines going, with almost 200 volunteers coming forward to help from the town. Last month, Crosfield Hall, Broadwater Road, was used to deliver the first doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 jab to vulnerable nearby residents on December 22 and 23. Now the hall is ready to be used as a vaccination venue once again, with the Oxford University and AstraZeneca vaccine also now approved. Just over half a million doses of the newly approved vaccine became available this week, with the Government aiming to administer two million per week, to protect the 13 million people most vulnerable to the virus by mid-February.
