Efforts to tackle an outbreak in Bolton of a new variant first identified in India has led to more than 6,200 people receiving their first vaccination by Sunday evening. People were able to queue at a mass vaccination site in south-west Bolton.

We would like to hear from those living in Bolton on how they have been affected by the new variant first identified in India. We are particularly interested in those who have tested positive during the recent outbreak.
