People could be getting the vaccine as soon as next week.

Over fifty Hospitals in England have been chosen to be “Hubs” for the roll-out of the new COVID-19 vaccine.



The requirement to store the approved Pfizer vaccine at -70 degrees means it can only be stored in specialists centres and then distributed to other smaller organisations in the region when required.

Social care workers are first on the list to be vaccinated, shortly followed by healthcare workers – which according to Health Secretary Matt Hancock should start as soon as next week.

Speaking earlier this week, Mr Hancock said; “50 hospitals across the country are already set up and waiting to receive the vaccine as soon as it’s approved, so that can now happen.

A list of the centres to receive the vaccine first are below.

Mr Hancock continued;  “Also vaccination centres, which will be big centres where people can go to get vaccinated. They are being set up now.

“There will also be a community rollout, including GPs and pharmacists.

“Now, of course, because of the -70C storage conditions of this vaccine, they will be able to support this rollout where they have those facilities.

“But they’ll also be there should the AstraZeneca vaccine be approved because that doesn’t have these cold storage requirements and so is operationally easier to roll out.”


“So from early next week we will start that programme of vaccinating people against Covid-19 here in this country.
