Dugdale Centre opens as coronavirus vaccination centre
The Dugdale Centre has officially opened its doors as an NHS mass vaccination centre to help the borough’s battle against coronavirus.
Enfield Council made the centre available to support vaccination efforts at pharmacies and doctors surgeries across the borough from 1 February and it has helped support the major community effort which has seen around a fifth of the borough’s residents – more than 64,000 people – receive their first dose of a vaccine so far.
Additionally, more than 80 per cent of residents aged over 70, 66 per cent of those aged 65-69 years old and 65 per cent of the borough’s clinically vulnerable 16-69 year olds have already received their first dose of a coronavirus vaccination.
Enfield Council Leader, Cllr Nesil Caliskan, said: “I am delighted Enfield Council has been able to make the Dugdale Centre available as a vaccination centre for the NHS to help tackle the coronavirus pandemic and protect our borough’s communities.
“I would urge residents to attend their vaccination appointments when they are invited by the NHS and I would encourage everyone to continue to follow the hands, face, space guidance after they have been vaccinated so that we can beat this pandemic once and for all and return to normal as rapidly as we can.
“We are utterly committed to doing everything we can to protect residents during the pandemic and we will continue to work with our partners in the NHS to keep our communities safe.” You can watch our film about the new vaccination centre at https://youtu.be/KZyrx8sv2eM
