Thank you NHS Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire and Berkshire West

foreword

by Rachel Corser - Chief Nursing Officer, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West ICB

From small independent community pharmacies to stadium-size vaccination centres with military support, since 8th December 2020 healthcare and public sector organisations from across the country have been contributing to the greatest mass vaccination programme in history.

It is thanks to the local efforts of all our staff that the target of offering the vaccine to all adults across BOB was hit and as we mark two years since the start of the vaccination programme it is right to recognise this extraordinary achievement.

From the start, BOB’s ethos was that it could only successfully deliver such an immense programme with the involvement of all its partners.

Many teams and individual members of staff went above and beyond to deliver the vaccination programme and the photographs included in this book highlighlight the incredible teamwork that has been integral to our response to the pandemic.

Since we began vaccinating our local population, and with thanks to the hundreds of NHS workers, local authority staff and volunteers involved in the programme, the vaccination uptake has been consistently high compared with other parts of the UK.

We can all be very proud of our team efforts which touched so many lives across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West.
