With numbers of Covid cases continuing to rise more and more people are anxiously wondering when they will receive one of the vaccination jabs currently being rolled out.

The Government says more than 2.4 million people in the UK have now been inoculated. But that still leaves more than 64 million still waiting.

So logistically how will so many people be vaccinated?

On Monday 11 January, Robertson House in Stevenage opened as one of the first seven mass vaccination centres in the country. It was the first in the East of England

These centres started by only vaccinating people aged 80 and over along with some front line NHS and care staff.

Letters will be sent out to the different priority groups inviting them to come for an injection.

The letter explains how they can book a slot over the phone or online through the national booking system.

Since the Stevenage centre was opened, other hubs were opened in Norwich and Wickford in Essex and more are being opened all the time.

The first list of mass vaccination centres in the East of England is listed below

There are also currently more than 1,000 smaller centres in places like hospitals and GPs surgeries all over the country being used to roll out the two vaccines made by AstroZenica and Pfizer. Many more are expected to come on line during the coming weeks.

The Government aim is to vaccinate 13.9 million of the country's most at-risk people by the middle of February. That's getting close to one in four of England's population.

When you will be contacted and offered a jab will depend on which band you are placed in based on age and health.

At present the priority list breaks down like this:

  • Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers - 800,000 people

  • All those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers - 5.7 million people

  • All those 75 years of age and over - 2.3 million people

  • All those 70 years of age and over and people deemed to be clinically extremely vulnerable - 4.4 million people

  • All those 65 years of age and over - 2.9 million people

  • All individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality - 7.3 million people

  • All those 60 years of age and over - 1.8 million people

  • All those 55 years of age and over - 2.4 million people

  • All those 50 years of age and over - 2.6 million people

  • The rest of the population, with priority yet to be determined - 21 million people

It is expected to be much later in the summer or autumn before young, healthy people receive a Covid shot.
