The Mayor of Chichester says he hopes that Easter will see the lifting of at least some restrictions seems to be receding.
The Mayor of Chichester, Councillor Richard Plowman has explained that everybody who is 80-plus and able to get to a centre should be vaccinated by January 30.
He wrote an open letter, which can be found on Chichester City Council's website.
He said: "In Chichester’s care homes all residents and staff have had the jab, unless there has been a recent Covid outbreak there, in which case the NHS has to wait 28 days before it can vaccinate".
"I have been in touch with several care homes and know of just one in this situation. Throughout the sector the dedication of the staff is truly admirable. It has been such an ordeal for them".
He also mentions how, as of January the 22, 60 per cent of over 80s have been vaccinated but it was a slow start.
He also said: "About 3,000 of the over- 80s from the GP surgeries grouped together as the Chichester Alliance of Medical Practices - had their vaccination by 22nd January and these continued just in Selsey over the weekend. There is bit of a gap while new supplies of vaccine arrive".
