HOPE: The vaccination centres are opening at seven locations. Photo: Ben Birchall/PA Wire. ELDERLY people from Worcestershire are being invited to book their coronavirus jab at the new NHS vaccination centres that open this week. The first 130,000 letters began arriving on doormats this weekend with more than 500,000 following this week, with the national vaccination programme “rapidly accelerating”. The letters have been sent to people aged 80 or over who live 30 to 45 minutes drive from one of the seven new sites and explain how they can book a slot – over the phone or online through the national booking service. The centres offer 'a convenient alternative to GP and hospital services and can each deliver thousands of vaccinations every week'.
