They will be followed by people over the age of 80 as well as frontline health and social care workers, before ages are gradually lowered in multiples of five.
It hasn’t been confirmed which Lincolnshire hospital will be selected out of Lincoln County, Boston Pilgrim, Grantham or Louth, but ULHT chief executive Andrew Morgan confirmed that the county was involved.
He said: “We are one of the fifty hubs waiting for vaccine delivery, and we are ready to do what is required of us.”
Mr. Morgan did, however, say there was no guarantee on time frame and a date of delivery is yet to be announced.
In the last seven days (November 25 to Wednesday, December 2) a total of 156 cases of coronavirus came through ULHT. 97 people were discharged and 42 people died.
On Wednesday, there were 249 COVID-19 inpatients, 131 in Lincoln and 118 at Pilgrim hospitals, while Grantham remains a COVID-free hospital.
