Around 20,000 people have now been vaccinated against COVID-19 in Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland.
Thank you to everyone working to get the vaccine out so quickly - this is a phenomenal achievement just two weeks after the first vaccination was given in UK! The UK's vaccination programme is first rate. We also have news that the Oxford Vaccine is now with the MHRA for approval.
800,000 people have been vaccinated across the country, and our vaccination centres are up and running in Melton and Oakham as well as Leicester General.
