1/5 Around 3,500 to 4,000 #IsleofWight residents have already received their first vaccination. It is hoped that by the end of next week this will rise to nearer 10,000. This is great news but we to do more and fast @MattHancock
2/5 Each #IOW vaccination site has received 975 doses of the Pfizer vaccine so far. Very soon they will all receive another 975 doses plus 400 doses of the Oxford vaccine and 75 doses of Pfizer for care homes. After that only the Oxford vaccine will be administered here.
3/5 A large vaccination site - at the Riverside Centre - should be ready to deliver 500 vaccinations a day by the middle of the month but may not get the vaccine until 25 January.
4/5 Because of the five-day shelf life of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine and batching in 975 doses, only sites that can deliver 975 doses in that timescale are included in the initial roll-out. I hope the more versatile Oxford vaccine will allow pharmacies to help in the future.
5/5 St Mary’s started to vaccinate all its staff this week, which will mean - in a few weeks - #Covid19 risks to doctors, nurses and other staff should decline significantly. Thank you to all of them. @IOWNHS
