By Mayor of North Lincolnshire praises all involved with rollout of Covid-19 vaccine
North Lincolnshire began rolling out the Covid-19 vaccination programme from the middle of December 2020. The success of the rollout locally has been recognised by Matt Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health.
Almost every care home resident and staff have been vaccinated as well as the vast majority of people over 80.
During a recent interview The Mayor of North Lincolnshire, Cllr Jonathan Evison praised the efforts of all who have been involved with the vaccine rollout and said:
“I think it is also worthy of recognition exceeding the amount that is going into the vaccine rollout programme in our region.
Health and care staff across North Lincolnshire continue to make good progress with vaccinating the most vulnerable people in our region against COVID-19.
“Again, all the people involved the NHS, the keyworkers, local Government, and the volunteers and I think it is particularly important to mention the volunteers who are turning out in very cold conditions, standing for a long long time assisting people moving forward with the vaccine.”
North Lincolnshire in particular has been recognised by both the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary for taking the lead in rolling out in significant numbers, more than a significant part of the rest of the country, which is really positive for North Lincolnshire.
North Lincolnshire remains dedicated to continue the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine and reminds residents that they will receive notification from the NHS when the time comes for them to receive the vaccine.
Local GP and Medical Director for NHS North Lincolnshire CCG, Dr Satpal Shekhawat said “Being able to deliver this vaccine to the most vulnerable people in our communities is a huge milestone in what has been a very difficult year. I would just like to thank all staff who have been working relentlessly behind the scenes to put these vaccination plans in place.”
