First doses of covid vaccine near 95,000 in Harrogate district
The number of people who have received a first dose of a covid vaccine in the Harrogate district has reached nearly 95,000.
According to NHS England statistics, 94,427 have had a first vaccine.
The figure is an increase of just 809 on last week due to a national drop in supply.
However, earlier this week the NHS invited those aged between 45 and 49 to come forward for the jab.
It comes as health bosses confirmed the Yorkshire Showground site in Harrogate will not be open for vaccinations for 19 days this summer due to the Great Yorkshire Show and other events taking place.
