Over half a million vaccinated against COVID-19 in the South East as the region works to protect residents
According to latest data, 526,432 people in the South East of England have been vaccinated against Covid since the start of April, including adults aged 75 and over, residents in care homes for older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
This achievement highlights the region’s commitment to protecting its residents and reducing the spread of the virus, with local teams organising visits to care homes and for housebound patients.
Thousands of daily appointments are available at pharmacies and GP practices across the region, with walk-in appointments also offered at various locations.
The vaccination provides vital protection against different strains of the COVID-19 virus and helps to reduce the risk of serious illness and hospitalisation.
