More volunteers will be able to train to administer COVID-19 vaccines, thanks to Plymouth College.

They have provided their Prep School site - located at The Millfields - to St John Ambulance Service to use as a training space.

The current lockdown guidelines have meant that only a small number of pupils who are children of critical workers have remained on site in socially distanced bubbles.

"We are pleased to be able to support the St John Ambulance in their work as part of the roll-out of the Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Programme, and will do all we can to assist in facilitating the delivery of the vaccine to the people of Plymouth where needed going forwards."

The vacancy of the Prep School site has meant that St John Ambulance are able to safely use the facility for the training of all volunteers to safely administer the COVID-19 vaccine and roll-out to people living in Plymouth.
