A Worcester resident says he is having trouble booking appointments to receive the Covid-19 vaccination. David Williams says he was sent a text message from the NHS telling him to make an appointment to have the jab - but when he clicked on the link there were no bookings available at any of the many vaccination sites in the city. Although the Herefordshire and Worcestershire CCG claims there are a good level of appointments available at St Peter’s Baptist Church in Worcester. A spokesperson for Herefordshire and Worcestershire CCG said: “While supply remains varied across the country, appointments may not always be available at all locations.
DOZENS of volunteers have come forward in response to a plea for helpers at the county’s new coronavirus vaccine hub. The opening of the hub had been delayed due to insufficient supplies of the vaccine - but when the call came that the supply issue was resolved, organisers pulled out all the stops to get the centre staffed within a few days. Cllr Tom Wells was asked to co-ordinate volunteers for the new Three Counties Showground vaccine site and said he was overwhelmed with the response. In four days, 56 people came forward, with that number set to be doubled as vaccinations at the site increase.

The Three Counties Showground, based in Malvern, Worcestershire, plans to open next week and is the fourth vaccination centre to open across the two counties. This is another significant milestone in the growing vaccination programme across Herefordshire and Worcestershire following the opening of the Artrix Theatre in Bromsgrove, which opened in January and St Peter’s Baptist Church in Worcester and Elgar House in Hereford opening last month. The site at the Three Counties is being run by SW Healthcare and plans to begin vaccinations from Tuesday 2 March. SW Healthcare, who also run the Artrix Theatre and St Peter’s vaccination centres is a federation of GP practices in Worcestershire.
