Vaccination Clinic - Queens Road, Shotley Bridge
The Covid-19 Vaccination program is a big success and a real game changer in the fight against Coronavirus. It is the biggest vaccination programme in the UK’s history, and began on the 8th of December 2020 when Margaret Keenan was vaccinated at University Hospital, Coventry, with a Pfizer and BioNTech vaccination. Since then, other vaccines have been authorised by the MHRA such as Oxford AstraZeneca and Moderna. Other vaccines that are under-going Phase-3 trials will hopefully be authorised in the future.
In England, COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered from 206 hospital hubs and 1,200 local vaccination service sites, including Queens Road Surgery at Shotley Bridge. A further 50 vaccination centres are in large-scale venues, such as football stadiums.
As of 7th May 2021, in the UK a total of 35 million people have received their first dose of the vaccine. Over 16 million people have had both doses, which equates to nearly a quarter of the population being fully vaccinated.
To meet the Government’s Roadmap criteria leading to the end of all legal measures by 21st June 2021, these rates must be maintained.
On the day of our visit to the clinic, staff administered nearly 1000 vaccinations, which was a tremendous achievement. This was only possible due to the organisation and hard work of all the Doctors, Nurses, Reception and Administration staff involved.
