International Trade Secretary Liz Truss met with volunteers supporting Norfolk and Waveney NHS to thank them for their work and contribution to the vaccine rollout.
The Government is working alongside the NHS, armed forces and local authorities, as part of a massive national effort and is encouraging everyone eligible to come forward for a jab.
Thanks to these incredible efforts more than 14 million of the most vulnerable people in the UK have been vaccinated so far.
In the biggest medical deployment this country has ever seen, the UK is on track to meet the goal of offering everyone in the top four priority groups a jab by Monday 15 February through the UK vaccines delivery plan.
International Trade Secretary and South West Norfolk MP Liz Truss said:
"Vaccines are the most effective way to protect against COVID-19 and will help to save thousands of lives. This has been an extraordinary collective effort by the NHS and the armed forces, and is yielding exceptional results.
"Today I'm encouraging everyone eligible for a jab to come forward if they haven't yet had their vaccine, so that we can reach the remaining people in these priority groups.
"I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this effort as we continue to expand our vaccination programme- the biggest in this country's history."
The vaccination programme has made rapid progress so far In the East of England, with 31 sites across Norfolk and Waveney offering the vaccines including 5 hospital hubs, 21 Primary Care Network sites, 4 large vaccination centres and 1 pharmacy.
