The Covid vaccine rollout in the Moorlands and Staffordshire as a whole has been widely praised as having one of the best jab rates in the country.

So just how good has the local vaccination process been compared to the rest of the UK?

Here are all the latest figures on the day that Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited a vaccination centre just five miles away from Biddulph.

To date over 387,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccination have been administered in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

Last week the area topped the national league table with 96% of over 70s having received their first dose of the vaccine.

Already in the Staffordshire Moorlands constituency, 40% per cent of the population have received a vaccine, a statistic that has been praised by Moorlands MP Karen Bradley.

She said: "The NHS vaccination programme, the biggest in our country's history, has been a fantastic success story and showcases the very best of collaboration across the entire United Kingdom. I would like to thank everyone involved in this enormous effort, without whom, this would not be possible.

"It's great to see that so many people in my constituency have received the vaccine and I was delighted to learn that the Staffordshire Moorlands constituency has the eighth highest vaccination rate in the country.

"We are defeating this virus by the hundreds of thousands of jabs going into people's arms every day, giving us hope as we look to a route back to normality."

Ms Bradley also revealed on social media last week that the Moorlands had the 8th highest vaccination rate of any constituency in the country.

The uptake rate of vaccines in the local area has also been remarkably high.

Biddulph Nub News reported last Monday that in the area covered by NHS North Staffordshire CCG, a total of 35,567 over 70s had received the jab, giving a very high uptake rate of 98.8%.

This uptake rate is the highest out of any of the Staffordshire CCG areas.

And in Biddulph itself, the town's vaccine rollout has been met with plenty of praise from residents who have had their jabs.

In January, we reported how residents took to social media to share their thoughts on the town's "brilliant" vaccine rollout.

Biddulph Doctors said they were "immensely proud" of their progress so far, and thanked the local community for their support during the rollout.

Everyone in the top four priority groups has now been offered a vaccine, as invites are now going out those in priority groups 5 to 9. The latest figures now show that nationally, two thirds of those aged 65 to 69 have now been vaccinated.
