NHS Devon CCG said:

’We doubled the number of people vaccinated in the first week after the PM’s announcement.

’Our staff and volunteers have rallied round, working extra days over the Christmas break and we have the capacity to vaccinate everyone who is eligible. We need people to come forward.

’There are lots of walk ins and booked appointments – the best way to find them is online on the national booking system or the “find a walk in vaccination centre” site

Don’t be put off by the queues we had in the first week – Greendale has built in extra parking, the expanded capacity means people are going through very quickly.

’You might get a sore arm but is normally short lived - and nothing in comparison with the impact of Covid.

’We know people are busy preparing for New Year or relaxing after Christmas, but we urge you to make the most of the opportunities available.’
