THE past 12 months has seen the biggest ever vaccination drive across Ludlow and south Shropshire.

Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Covid-19 vaccine service has administered, almost 1 million vaccines, according to the latest data from NHS England. 87.7 per cent of people aged over 18s have now received two doses, for those aged 50 or over 68.3 per cent have had their booster or 3rd dose and for young people aged 12-17, 64.2 per cent have had their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination.

The GP surgeries in Ludlow, Station Drive and Portcullis, have played a big part in the roll out.

Clinics have been held at Ludlow Hospital, the Mascall Centre and early in the pandemic there was a major vaccination hub at Ludlow racecourse.

Whilst large numbers of people have received two doses of Covid-19 vaccination and many others have also received a booster there are still some that have not and the appeal is for them to get jabbed.
