Vast majority of Peterborough Telegraph readers say 'yes' to having Covid vaccine in the early hours of the morning

That was the question we asked on our Facebook page and 1,100 people responded, with the vast majority of readers saying yes.

The government's vaccination program is gathering pace with thousands more receiving the jab every day and London is set to begin trialling 24-hour vaccination centres before the end of this month.

The current 8am to 8pm vaccination times have been working for the over-80s, and some areas of the UK have managed to give out first jabs to the majority of this age group.

But as the vaccine is administered to younger age groups, the 24/7 centres will help ensure more people can get their jabs - especially when it comes to working age people.

Colin Swanborough said on our Facebook page: “Absolutely, if I can get up in the middle of the night to get an early flight to go on holiday then I can get up for something as important as this.”

Jane Tagg added: “It's ideal for all the night workers and everyone who has an unusual shift pattern, not everyone works 9-5.”

Eleanor Carey commented: “Yes, as it would free up times during the day for people that don't have transport or would have difficulty travelling to work. Also to have jabs during the night would enable more shift workers to access it as offering someone who works nights an 11am appointment is the middle of the night for them.”

Sally East added: “I would but I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect elderly or vulnerable to go in the middle of the night.”

Lorraine Milner added: “I would rather not as I don’t drive and our centre for a jab is about a 30 to 40 minute walk away from where I live.”

Laura Thurley added: “If it meant more vaccinations being given out and restrictions easing quicker and lives being saved then yes, yes, yes!”
