MP visits pop-up vaccination centre

Hereford and South Herefordshire MP Jesse Norman has thanked healthcare workers at a pop-up vaccination site in the city.

Mr Norman recently paid a visit to the Maylord Orchard pop up COVID vaccination site, run by Taurus Healthcare.

He said: “Thanks to everyone for the phenomenal effort they have made to get Herefordians properly jabbed against COVID.  Vaccinations play an enormous part in keeping us all safe, and I congratulate local healthcare teams for all the work they have done to help residents to get vaccinated.”

Mr Norman is married to Kate Bingham who chaired the Government’s Vaccination Taskforce and was responsible for the procurement of COVID vaccinations and the strategy for their deployment.

He added: “Because of my personal connection to the Vaccine Task Force, I feel emotionally very involved with the whole vaccination process. It is great to see how keen local people have been to step forward, both to be jabbed and to act as volunteers.  We all owe them a massive debt of thanks."

More than 420,000 vaccinations have so far been delivered in Herefordshire.
