More patients in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland have been receiving their Covid-19 vaccination as additional supplies become available.
Caroline Trevithick, executive director of nursing, quality and performance for the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland clinical commissioning groups, said: “Over the past few weeks, we are proud to have rapidly expanded the Covid-19 vaccination programme across LLR.
"More areas across the city and counties are preparing to begin vaccinating in the coming days and weeks.
"There is still a long way to go but I’d like to reassure patients that if they are eligible at this stage they will be contacted by their GP practice with information about their vaccinations including when to come in for their second dose," she added.
Dr Simon Vincent, clinical director of North Blaby primary care network, said: "We’re really grateful for the continued support, dedication and commitment shown by all our staff, practice managers and GPs."
