Buckinghamshire hit a major milestone in the battle against COVID-19 last weekend, as the number of vaccination doses given to people within the county passed the one million mark.
Since the COVID-19 vaccination programme launched in Buckinghamshire almost a year ago, on 15 December 2020, vaccines have been given across a range of venues, including even a moving Health on the move, 'Vaccine van' which has been visiting different areas of Bucks.
However the NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group are not letting vaccination programme slow down. As more people become eligible for their booster vaccinations, more appointments are becoming available.
They are encouraging anyone who needs their first or second dose of the vaccine, or is eligible for their booster jab, to get in touch.
Dr Raj Bajwa, Chair of NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said:
“Delivering one million vaccination jabs in less than a year is a monumental feat and a testament to the hard work and dedication of all our vaccination teams – many of whom are delivering this programme on top of their normal duties in GP practices and hospitals. An enormous ‘thank you’ must also go to all those who have volunteered at the many vaccination sites across Bucks. The vaccination programme would not be the success it is without their invaluable support.
“But it is still vital that as many people as possible get their booster vaccination when they are eligible. So, when the NHS contacts you to tell you the time is right to get your booster, please make sure you take up the opportunity as soon as possible, to protect yourself and your loved ones. We are prioritising those at greatest risk and are now working steadily through our patient lists.”
