Last updated 25th Jan 2022
Today (Tuesday 25th January) marks exactly one year since the mass vaccination centre at Salisbury City Hall opened.
In that time, around 206,000 first, second or booster jabs have been administered to people by the team of volunteers.
Fiona Hyett, Operational Director of the Salisbury Vaccination Programme said:
“When we first opened our doors last year, we soon became the primary vaccination hub for the South Wiltshire area. In the first three months we vaccinated 20,000 people and in the next three 80,000. We have now administered over 200,000 vaccinations and seen, on average, over 500 people a day. Over the past year our dedicated team of NHS staff and volunteers, not forgetting the military personnel who have helped us, has risen to every challenge encountered. I’m immensely grateful to them and proud of everything we have achieved.
The Salisbury City Hall Vaccination Centre is open every day from 9am to 7.30pm seven days a week, for booked and walk-in appointments.
Stacey Hunter CEO at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust said:
“The Salisbury City Hall Vaccination Centre team has delivered fantastic results. Salisbury is only a small city and yet the team has sustained an incredible level of vaccination activity, daily. I would like to thank the whole team and individual volunteers for their Herculean efforts, but also to our local community for coming forward and receiving their vaccinations."
