Andrew Mitchell MP has thanked all those involved in the Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Hall vaccination programme as the total number of vaccinations reached 100,000 on Friday.

Andrew worked with a wide range of stakeholders to help open the Town Hall as the main vaccine hub for the Royal Town earlier this year. It has become one of the most successful local vaccine hubs in the region.

Andrew Mitchell said:

“I would send sincere thanks to the brilliant Dr Rahul Dubb and all the Town Hall vaccination team. Sutton Coldfield Group Practice are running their most ambitious Covid and flu vaccination programme yet from the Town Hall, with boosters and flu vaccinations offered at the same time where appropriate and subject to local supply.

“On Friday I visited the Town Hall and saw the 100,000th jab completed by the team. This is really a remarkable achievement.

“We wouldn’t have hit this milestone without the excellent drs, practice team, volunteers, town hall staff and our town council who all came together earlier this year to open the Town Hall as a vaccine hub.”

Dr Rahul Dubb said:

“I am forever grateful to the staff at Sutton Coldfield Group Practice who are now in their 11th month of running this programme for Sutton Coldfield residents.

“We have worked in partnership with the most fantastic of volunteers who have given up much of their time in difficult weather conditions too, to ensure our community is vaccinated as quickly as possible.

“Thanks go to the Town Hall, Sutton Coldfield Town Council and the Birmingham and Solihull CCG for the continued team effort!”
