Seven mass vaccination centres to open as NHS races to deliver more than 2m jabs a week

Across the UK 1.3m people have had a dose of the Covid-19 vaccine but the rate must increase to hit the Government's target

For now, the only hold-up is the batch testing process. Pfizer doses continue to flow, but most Ox/AZ doses are still being checked by the MHRA.

Govt confident that Ox/AZ 'fill and finish' process in Wrexham is now going well. No shortages of inputs. https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/seven-mass-vaccination-centres-nhs-end-january-818259

The NHS is expanding its capacity to administer the vaccine over the course of this month, to match the growing numbers of doses coming in from manufacturers. Process of enrolling volunteers - plus probably military & pharmacists - is part of this. https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/seven-mass-vaccination-centres-nhs-end-january-818259

Three main delivery channels: hospital hubs, GP sites, mass vaccination channels. Means we're unlikely to see smaller venues (pubs, shops etc) used to administer jabs. https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/seven-mass-vaccination-centres-nhs-end-january-818259
