Work to Vaccinate North Yorkshire Continues

The county's vaccine programme will continue for months to come.

The COVID vaccination programme in North Yorkshire is being stepped up as the government outlines new targets for vaccinating more age groups more quickly.

More than 20 million people have had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine in the UK.

The milestone was reached as nearly two million people aged 60 to 63 in England are being invited to book a coronavirus jab, with the letters due to start arriving on Monday.

NHS England said the letters will explain how people can make an appointment through the national booking service.

They added that the letters have been sent out after more than three in four people aged 65 to 70 took up the offer of a vaccination.

Amanda Bloor is from the NHS in North Yorkshire.

Amanda says delivering second doses as well means the vaccine work is far from done.
