The trust which runs Peterborough City Hospital has been named as a 'vaccine hub' ahead of the roll out of the new injection next week.

Details of how the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust - which runs Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke, and Stamford and Rutland hospitals - will roll out the vaccine to the most vulnerable residents, or where the vaccines will be administered have not yet been revealed.

The trust was named among 50 trusts and hospitals across the country who will receive the vaccine in a letter sent out to health bosses last month.

Elderly residents will be the first residents to be offered the vaccine.

The Pfizer/BioNTech injection was given approval for use in the UK yesterday, and it is hoped people could receive the first dose next week.

The Peterborough Telegraph has contacted the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust for more information.
