Over a quarter of a million COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered in Milton Keynes

    Over a quarter of a million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Milton Keynes in just six months.

    These vaccinations have been administered through Saxon Court's Mass Vaccination Centre, the GP centres and the pharmacy centre at The Open University.

    Dr Sarah Whiteman, Chair of the BLMK CCG which is responsible for local healthcare, said: “We have been working very hard, with our partners, to tackle the COVID-19 virus in Milton Keynes and this figure is a great example of what has been achieved. We couldn’t do this without the support, co-operation and hard work of our local authority partners and our volunteers, and I would like to say thank you to them.”

    Leader of Milton Keynes Council, Cllr Pete Marland, added: “Partners have been pulling out every stop to work together on the NHS vaccination programme.

    "We’re delighted to be playing our part by making our former offices available as a vaccination centre, and by encouraging everyone to be vaccinated. We want to get as many local people vaccinated as quickly as possible, and we’re keen to see even more vaccinations being delivered through Saxon Court to get the whole of MK even better protected.”

    Vaccination opportunities have now been expanded with five more pharmacy clinics opening up in Milton Keynes, all of these can be booked via the National Booking System, either by calling 119 or going to nhs.uk/covid-vaccination.

    Over 18s can now book their vaccine appointment, and you can do so here
