On 2 December, The independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) confirmed, that one of the highly anticipated COVID-19 Vaccinations, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had been approved for use.
Within Somerset we have been working in partnership with our health and care providers to make the vaccine available to the people of Somerset in a planned way and in line with national guidance. This includes delivering it in a number of locations to enable easier access for as many people as possible. This will include large county sites, community sites in locations across the county, hospital hubs, some GP surgeries and via teams of mobile vaccinators for those who cannot leave their homes.
