The Lincolnshire Care Association is overjoyed that all eligible older care home residents across England have now been offered the COVID-19 vaccine. This is an important milestone in the fight against the virus, with the life-saving jab provided to more than 10,000 care homes across the country.
Melanie Weatherley MBE, Chair of LinCA, said:
"We’re incredibly grateful to all of the NHS and social care staff who made this ambitious rollout – the largest in NHS history - a reality, and we look forward to further priority groups receiving their own vaccines in the near future.
"For now, we ask you to please remember “hands, face, space” to keep England’s – and Lincolnshire’s – older and vulnerable people safe."
