Covid: where are the vaccination sites in Dorset?

The BIC started delivering the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab on Monday and will aim to vaccinate 9,000 a week at capacity.

It is the only large vaccination centre in the county, with the other centres made up of three hospital hubs and 17 GP-led services through primary care networks.

Patients will be contacted when it is their turn to be vaccinated when they will be able to book an appointment.

Retired postman and Parcelforce manager Brian Keeling, 85, of Wallisdown, received his first jab at the BIC on Monday.

He said: “There have been absolutely no problems getting vaccinated.

“I felt a little prick when the needle went into my arm and that was it. It is great to have had the first jab.”
