Sherborne’s new mayor Anne Hall joined other volunteers and health workers at The Digby Hall in Sherborne this morning for another day of Covid-19 vaccinations.
Anne was meeting and directing those arriving at the hall for their second vaccination, in what is a very successful and ahead of national target roll out of the vaccination programme, with Dr Rob Childs from the Apple Medical Centre, keeping the town and surrounding villages up-to-date with latest information.
Dr Childs most recent update includes the following: ‘We continue to vaccinate and remain ahead of national targets and the majority of 30-50 year olds have already received their first vaccine. We are giving another 1400 vaccines on Wednesday 12th May. Uptake of the vaccine has been beyond all expectation with 97% of those aged 50 and over having had at least one vaccine so far. This vaccination uptake will reap benefits as we start to socialise more and should hopefully keep numbers of Covid cases locally to a minimum.’
