Title: Vaccination latest
Post by: Cookham Webmaster on April 22, 2021, 05:37:02 PM
Across the Royal Borough, Frimley NHS Health & Care has so far administered vaccines to:
94% - ages 80+
94% - 75 to 79
93% - 70 to 74
90% - 65 to 69
87% - 60 to 64
86% - 55 to 59
84% - 50 to 54
31% - 16 to 49

But remember, even vaccinated, you can still catch COVID-19 although it's highly unlikely you will end up in intensive care. But you could still infect others not yet vaccinated.

Central government has already announced that the number of vaccine doses available this month across England is much lower than in March. The availability of first dose appointments on the national booking system are temporarily fewer meaning the current age group (45 to 49) may take longer. But this does not affect the roll-out of second doses.

The British Islamic Medical Association has issued specific advice urging you not to delay taking the vaccine during Ramadan. The vaccines do not break your fast, nor do they contain material of foetal or animal origin. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has published the full ingredients of both Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech.

The vaccination programme is being run by the NHS, not the council. For Frimley NHS Health and Care's statistics see regional and national data on the NHS England website.
