Amanda Sullivan, Accountable Officer at NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG, said: “We continue to make excellent progress with our vaccination programme with the latest figures showing that 405,478 doses have been administered

“We are urging all over 50s to book their vaccines – we are confident of meeting the NHS’s commitment to offer first jabs to everyone aged 50 and over and in the top nine vaccination priority groups by mid-April.

“We are determined that no-one should be left behind and we will continue to focus our efforts and resources on reaching out to as many eligible people as possible who have not yet come forward for their first dose, while at the same time ensuring that second doses are administered to those people who are due them.”
