Sheffield Teaching Hospitals is one of more than 50 hubs across the country chosen to begin delivering the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine from today, Tuesday, December 8.
A vaccination centre has been set up at Northern General Hospital, with people aged over 80, care home residents and staff, and frontline NHS workers first in line to be injected.
