One hundred days ago Derbyshire began the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history and, as the county reaches that important milestone, we are taking a look back on all that has been achieved.

The first Covid-19 vaccine doses were administered at Chesterfield Royal Hospital and Royal Derby Hospital on December 8, just six days after the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had been formally approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Now, 100 days and 430,000 doses later, Derbyshire has a total of 25 vaccination sites which range from GP practices and community halls to a converted theatre and the huge mass vaccination centre at Derby Arena.
