Theresa May visits jab centre
MAIDENHEAD: Theresa May has hailed the vaccination effort taking place in Maidenhead and praised the town’s NHS staff and volunteers after seeing it first hand at the weekend.
On Saturday, the Maidenhead MP went to the inoculation centre in the Desborough Suite at Maidenhead Town Hall, where she was shown around the facility and got to see the vaccinations in action.
Speaking after the visit, Mrs May said: “I was pleased to be able to visit the local vaccination service in Maidenhead and see the fantastic work being done by NHS staff with support from a great team of volunteers.
“I know from people who have been vaccinated here that the process was very
smooth and they were well looked after.
“Thank you to everyone involved in this important work. If you are contacted by the NHS to get the vaccine I urge you to do so – the vaccine is safe and will give you vital protection.”
Having opened in December, the vaccination facility in the
Desborough Suite has been running smoothly and successfully, with all older residents in care homes, front line health and care workers, clinically vulnerable and over70s given their first vaccine dose.
The site is preparing to offer all of these people their second jabs soon.
A homeless mother-of-two was treated unjustly when she was moved away from the Royal Borough. The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman has ordered Miss Y be paid £1,750.
Speeding on a B road has driven a community association to write a letter to Thames Valley Police, asking for its support for a decreased speed limit – and were left underwhelmed by the response. Police consider the Oakley Green Road a ‘low risk area’ but residents disagree.
