Hide AdDr Nigel Watson, GP and clinical lead for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Covid-19 Vaccination Programme, said: ‘Clinics are going really well with lots of our patients and staff saying how smoothly things have run.
‘We’d like to thank everyone for bearing with us as we know how important the vaccine is to many people. I would ask people to please continue to be patient.
‘The NHS will contact you when it is your turn to be offered a vaccine.
‘Whilst the vaccine roll-out is really good news, we know that the virus is still very much with us so we all must do everything we can to protect ourselves and others.’
