Some surgeries have announced that vaccinations will not be going ahead today, while others remain open as usual.

A spokesperson for Derbyshire Joint Care Trust said: “Poor weather in Derbyshire has had an impact on travel and it is possible this might affect appointments at the Covid-19 vaccination centres.

“This page will be updated regularly. Patients should only attend the vaccination centre if you have an appointment. If you do have an appointment and are struggling to travel then please stay safe and contact your practice who will be able to rebook your appointment for another time.”

In some cases, it was never planned for vaccinations to be given out today. This is because the rollout is dictated by the supply of the vaccine, and some surgeries may be awaiting a delivery before they can continue with their programme.
