Mayor Dave Hodgson has recorded a new video about Coronavirus vaccinations in Bedford Borough. You can watch the video here.

This new centre joins Kings House and the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in delivering the COVID-19 vaccinations in Bedford Borough, and will make it easier for people to get vaccinated locally which is really good news. I'd like to thank all the NHS staff and the volunteers who are working hard to get local residents vaccinated. I have been informed by local GPs that we will have the capacity across Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes to deliver 54,000 vaccines a week. GPs, nurses and volunteers are ready for these vaccinations to take place but we've not had the supply of vaccines we need due to what's been described to me as a 'lumpy' supply issues. I'm told by our GPs that we can get everyone in Priority 1 to 4 vaccinated by 15th February but
