Dr Robin said: “Vaccination is really the way out of the current situation and the vaccine has been approved by the NHRA which has taken a huge amount of care over that.

“I would absolutely urge Peterborough residents to take up the vaccine. We’re all looking forward to a time when it’s had an impact and we can return to a normal way of life.
