"Our local COVID-19 vaccination programme continues to speed forward and I’m really pleased to be able to let you know that local capacity is expanding even more in the days and weeks ahead.

"Subject to final sign off, we have a new large vaccination site opening in Buckinghamshire next week.

"We also have a vaccine site in Chesham and a hospital hub vaccine site for health and social care workers opening in Amersham.

"Every GP surgery in the county is linked in to one of our nine GP-led sites which are giving many vaccines every day.

"There have been a few pockets of areas where supply has been slower but the majority of residents aged 80 and over have now been invited for their first vaccine.

"Our NHS colleagues remain on target to offer everyone aged 70 and over and the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable a vaccine appointment by the middle of this month.
