MP Maria Miller Welcomed news of the successful vaccination rollout across Hampshire. Maria commented;
“The successful roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme continues. Thanks to the fantastic efforts of our NHS, volunteers and other partners more than 1.87m vaccines have been delivered across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight .This means that 95% of people aged 40 and over across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have received their first dose of the vaccine. Hampshire remains remain on track to meet the national target of offering all adults a first dose by the end of July.”
“People aged 23 and over are now being invited to make an appointment to receive a vaccine via the national booking service and I would strongly encourage everyone who receives an invitation to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, whether it is for a first or second dose, to take up the offer as soon as possible."

Following guidance from the Government and Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), appointments for a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine are being brought forward from 12 to eight weeks for anyone in the first nine priority groups who is yet to receive their second vaccination. This means people at greater risk of getting seriously ill due to COVID-19 can get maximum protection sooner.
People should continue to attend their second dose appointments and nobody needs to contact the NHS. The NHS are contacting those who should bring their appointment forward.
