Christopher Pincher MP has welcomed the Government’s Vaccines Delivery Plan – the biggest vaccination programme in British history – that sets ambitious targets as the government continues to ramp up its vaccine rollout.

Domestic abuse victims and their children living in Tamworth will be able to receive more support thanks to extra Government funding. 

The NHS has been working through their lists of patients to ensure those with the highest priority need get the vaccine first.  While a good 95% of people in these categories have come forward and booked their vaccine there are still some who have not.
