People in Staffordshire have been told "not to become Covid-complacent" as the county passes its latest vaccine landmark.

Over 100,000 people have now been vaccinated in Staffordshire, with a new vaccination centre now opening in Tunstall, which the county council says can vaccinate six people every five minutes. The Covid rate for Staffordshire has also fallen, and now sits at around 382 cases per 100,000 population.

Dr Johnny McMahon, Staffordshire County Councils Cabinet Member for Health, Care and Wellbeing, said: "It's a testament to a lot of hard work that we have reached this vaccination milestone.

"However, cases remain high and there is still enormous pressure on the NHS both locally and nationally.

"Now is not the time to give in to temptation – please continue to follow the rules and stay at home.

"If you do need to leave the house, for essential shopping or because you cannot work from home then please get tested, especially if you live in one of the hotspot areas where cases are very high."

There is a community test centre in each district or borough open seven days a week, all with good availability. There are also pop-up testing centres at various locations providing additional opportunities for residents to get a rapid test.
