GP surgeries and community organisations joined forces to say 'thank you' to carers at an event in Keighley.

STAFF from GP practices are 'taking over' a Keighley parkrun.

Mohammed Bostan, 95, was one of the first people to receive their vaccination in Keighley.  He described the vaccine as a "lifeline" as he has been self-isolating since March. “If I can help save just one person’s life by encouraging them to have their vaccination then I’ll be very happy," he said. "I’ve been staying at home since March, and only go out to go to the doctors or for a hospital appointment. Having the vaccine is a lifeline for me and I’m looking forward to having my booster in three weeks so I can get out a little more in the New Year.”
