A special webinar will be taking place this Friday, 19th February, to give residents across Bath and North East Somerset an update on the NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme.

Locals are invited to get involved with the hour-long online discussion at 10.30am, with B&NES Council leader Councillor Dine Romero being joined by panellists Councillor Rob Appleyard, cabinet member for Adult Services, Gill May, Director of Nursing and Quality for Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group and Andrew Smith, Chief Executive of B&NES Enhanced Medical Services (BEMS) and Dr Bernie Marden, RUH Medical Director.

The panel will address residents’ questions and provide information on the vaccination programme locally, including plans for the continued rollout to priority groups.

Councillor Rob Appleyard said: “The vaccination programme is continuing apace with more than 183,000 doses given so far across the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire area since December.

“As we move through the priority groups, it’s extremely important people get the right information at the right time. Getting vaccinated is the right thing to do to protect both you, your family and friends.

“The more people who get vaccinated the more chance we have of things getting back to normal. So, if you have any questions or queries please sign up to take part in the webinar.”

Councillor Dine Romero, added: “The fact that so many people in the priority groups across Bath & North East Somerset have already been vaccinated is testament to the incredible work of the NHS, local authorities, military, emergency services and the volunteers who are working tirelessly get the job done.

“I’d like to thank everyone involved in this mammoth effort including 3SG who have co-ordinated the volunteering effort at the Bath Racecourse.

“Covid-19 rates here are continuing to fall and we can all play our part by receiving the vaccine when we are invited to take it.

“It’s vital we reach all communities across the district and I’d encourage residents who have questions to join the webinar.  In the meantime, please continue to follow the lockdown rules.”
