More than two in five adults across Gedling borough have now had their first Covid jab, the health secretary has revealed in a new video.
In the clip, shared online, Matt Hancock praised people in the borough for its efforts and also staff at the Richard Herrod Centre.
He said: “I want to say a massive thank you to everyone across Gedling who is working so hard to get these vaccines out.
“Over 41 per cent, that’s more than two in five adults, across Gedling has been vaccinated and it’s thanks to the Richard Herrod Centre in Carlton and all the staff at the QMC and City Hospital.
“In particular I want to pay tribute to Tom Randall, who as local MP has been helping with the vaccination effort and getting the message out that the vaccination is good for you, good for your community and will help us all get out of this.
“A massive thank you to everybody involved in this effort.”
The video was shared by Gedling MP Tom Randall, who said on social media: “The Secretary of State for Health, Matt Hancock, wanted to offer his personal thanks to everyone in Gedling who is working hard to get vaccines out.
“Many thanks to the staff at the Richard Herrod Centre and our local hospitals helping to deliver vaccinations.”
What has Tom Randall actually done?
He turns up for a photo opportunity, and he makes an occasional post on social media.
But what has he ACTUALLY done to help either with the vaccination effort or promoting it.
In my view, VERY little.
Party political broadcast, shoiuldn’t it be marked as such?
