In another significant step forward in Bristol’s Covid-19 efforts, Ashton Gate Stadium has been confirmed as one of seven ‘super vaccination centres’ across England – the first in the South West.

Vaccinations at the stadium will start next week, signalling an increase in capacity which should allow the city to promptly move through vaccine prioritisation categories. The NHS will invite you to receive your vaccination as soon as it’s your turn, and it will take time to reach everyone. Nonetheless, this really is cause to be positive. You can find all the latest updates on the local roll-out at the Healthier Together webpage: https://bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk/covid-19-mass…/.

It’ll take a national effort to perform mass vaccination, which is why Labour has launched its #LetsVaccinateBritain campaign. People in Bristol East and across the country have stepped up in all kinds of inspiring ways to support their communities during this time of crisis, and we need to keep this up in the months ahead.
