The move aims to support the Covid-19 vaccine roll out for elderly people and disabled residents.

They include one in Nantwich, two in Crewe, and in other towns including Alsager, Middlewich, Congleton and Macclesfield.

It throws up an amazing 93% FALSE positive rate. This means that 93% of the Covid deaths are not Covid deaths at all.
Groups of GP practices in South Cheshire have started rolling out a COVID-19 vaccine in local communities.
Initially focusing on protecting those at highest risk, it follows the launch of the vaccination programme in hospitals on December 8.
