Frome Medical Centre has been praised for its great work rolling out the coronavirus vaccine.

One of the first to get the dose was 91 year old Betty Duke who said: "It amazes me that some people don't want to have it. The way it was all arranged was very efficient and we didn't have to wait at all."

Her family added that they everyone at the practice needed to be congratulated on its fantastic service.

The Practice today (January 15) announced that it hoped to have contacted all of its patients aged over 80 by the end of this week to offer them a vaccination.
