One of the county's senior health leaders says the rise in Indian variant cases makes getting a vaccine jab even more important.
There were 4,182 new cases of coronavirus identified in the UK yesterday, the highest daily total since the start of April.
It comes amid concerns about the spread of the Indian variant of the disease.
