Published 2nd Nov 2021

Health bosses say they're on track with the covid booster jab roll-out in Lincolnshire.

Over 95,000 have been given to people aged 50 and over, frontline health and social care workers and anyone with a health condition that puts them at high risk.

Deputy Chief Nurse Rebecca Neno said local services are currently focussing on protecting those in care homes.

"There's a lot of very bespoke work that the teams are doing that are not necessarily easily captured in number terms.

"My overall message is we are absolutely seeing people coming through in the way we expect them to.

"Some localities are slightly ahead of other parts of Lincolnshire, so we're only just seeing the latter end of those places go live and some of those individuals become eligible."
