The NHS autumn booster campaign has got off to a flying start with over five million vaccines delivered since the programme started at the start of September.
The latest stats reveal a total of 5,144,324 boosters have so far been administered.
Commenting on stats released yesterday afternoon showing the NHS in England has delivered over five million Covid-19 autumn boosters, NHS director of vaccinations and screening, Steve Russell, said: “Thanks to the continued unwavering efforts of NHS staff, just a month into the latest covid vaccine drive, we have already delivered five million doses of the autumn booster – protecting millions against the worst effects of coronavirus this winter.
“With over 7,000 people currently in hospital with Covid-19, along with a difficult flu season in the Southern Hemisphere, we must not lose sight of why this life-saving vaccine is so important – that is why NHS staff are pulling out all the stops to keep the threat of the ‘twindemic’ at bay this winter, delivering vaccines at thousands of sites across the country every day. I urge anyone eligible for a vaccine to book now either online or by calling 119.”
