NHS England and NHS Improvement recently got in touch with me to provide more information on the COVID-19 vaccination programme that is being rolled out across the country. The vaccine is being administered in a phased approach, which prioritises the highest risk groups over the coming months. At the right time, people will receive an invitation to come forward for their vaccination, but people are asked not to contact the NHS prior to receiving this. Locally, Northampton General Hospital was one of the first places in the country to start giving out the vaccine and this is fantastic news as we head into the New Year. So please, we are so close to the finish line; keep up the social distancing and safety precautions, look out for each other, and we’ll get there - there is now very real light at the end of the tunnel.
