Answer
Mass vaccination centres are operating between 8am and 8pm seven days a week. GP Practices are providing their vaccination programme in addition to their normal work commitments.
Experience has already taught us to expect temporary dips in vaccination
numbers although overall the uptake by the public remains very good.
The Covid-19 Vaccination Programme will take time to ensure it is implemented safely.
