Roving vaccine van and pop-up sites in Northumberland village halls considered in Covid fight

This proposal was mentioned by Rachel Mitcheson, from NHS Northumberland Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), during her update to the Thursday, February 11, meeting of Northumberland County Council’s health and wellbeing board.

So far in the county, 70,000 people from the top four priority groups – care home residents and staff, the over 80s, the over 75s, the over 70s and clinically extremely vulnerable – have now been vaccinated and Northumberland is ‘absolutely on target’ to have offered the first dose to everyone in those categories by Monday, February 15, as set by the Government.
