Manchester reaches huge Covid jab milestone
20.01.2022 - 10:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester has reached a huge milestone in the fight against coronavirus.
This week the one millionth jab was expected to be administered in the city, health bosses have revealed.
It comes after a exhaustive 12 month vaccine roll-out which has been described 'one of the largest peacetime mobilisations of people power ever seen'.
Thousands of volunteers have joined together with NHS staff at dozens of vaccine centres across the city to protect Mancunians against covid.
David Regan, Manchester’s Director of Public Health said: "The vaccination programme has been the biggest public health initiative we’ve ever seen in Manchester, touching on virtually every aspect of the city’s healthcare network.
"I'm incredibly proud to have played a part in this and I know that thousands of lives have been saved as a result of the skill and resolve of our clinicians, frontline staff and volunteers. "We are not through this yet and as ever our message remains get your first and second vaccinations, get your booster when offered and take all the steps necessary to keep you and your family safe."
Manchester council leader Bev Craig said: "To reach such a significant milestone is staggering and testament to the incredible dedication of everyone connected to the vaccination effort.
"This has not been an easy two years for any of us and for so many, the vaccine offered us a way back to normality.
"We are still learning what the future will look like, but I know it would be far worse were it not for the superheroes we have working among us."
According to the latest government figures 67.1 per cent of people in Manchester have received their first jab, 59.8 per cent are double jabbed, while 37.9 per cent have received their booster.
