100,000 Vaccines Given Across Harborough District

100,000 Coronavirus vaccines have now been given in the Harborough District.

The new milestone was reached this week, taking the total number of jabs administered since December to 100,772.

And the vaccine roll-out for people aged over 60 across Harborough has been one of the quickest in England.

25,170 people have had both doses – 95.1% of that age group  – placing the District fourth in a list of 315 areas of England.

Since December, over 60,000 adults across Harborough – 76% of those aged over 18 – have had one vaccine and over 40,000 have had both doses, meaning just over half the total adult population have had two jabs.

Harborough MP Neil O’Brien told Hfm he is delighted:
