The Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Covid-19 Vaccination service is responding to the national call to accelerate the booster vaccination programme following the Prime Minister announced plans to offer everyone aged 18 and over a booster jab by the end of December 2021 in response to rising concern over the Omicron variant.
This is a total of 137,000 boosters to be delivered across the county by New Year’s Eve.
Angie Wallace, Senior Responsible Officer, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin COVID-19 Vaccination Service, said: “We have so far given over one million vaccines in a highly successful programme and at the moment we are vaccinating 7,000 people a day.
“We are delighted that Telford International Centre has reopened it’s doors and I would like to thank everyone involved in making this happen so quickly. There are plenty of vaccine doses and appointments available, so please don’t delay get protected.”

Angie, added: "If anyone is in any doubt about the necessity of this accelerated booster campaign, the covid infection rates are very high and the Omicron variant is a massive threat if you have only had two doses.
