On Wednesday 7th April HRH The Duchess of Cornwall visited communities across Haringey, one of which was the vaccination centre at the Lordship Lane Health Centre in Tottenham, where CHP is the head tenant. Her Royal Highness was accompanied on her engagements by the Mayor of Haringey, Cllr Adam Jogee.
The visit was to mark the centre’s special milestone, the team have administered 50,000 vaccines to date; this brilliant achievement equates to one vaccine per minute when the centre is open. The vaccination team at this busy centre are also working hard to combat vaccine hesitancy within the local community.
