Vaccines Minister praises “Grab A Jab” van team in Aylesbury

The Vaccines Minister, Nadhim Zahawi MP, has paid tribute to the team working on the Grab A Jab van that is providing vaccinations in Buckinghamshire, and called on all local 16 and 17 year olds to take up the offer of an inoculation. Mr Zahawi was speaking in response to a question in the House of Commons from Aylesbury MP Rob Butler, who said:

“During the summer I visited the ‘Grab a Jab’ van in Aylesbury, which proved especially popular with younger people. Will my Honourable Friend join me in congratulating everybody involved in rolling out that vaccination programme and in encouraging all 16 and 17-year-olds in the Aylesbury constituency to get their jab so that they can live a full life, whether studying, working or just having a good time?”

In response, the minister said:

“I certainly urge all 16 and 17-year-olds to come forward to get their jab and the protection and freedoms that go with it. I thank the “Grab a Jab” team in Aylesbury for all the work they have done.”

Afterwards, Rob added:

“The Grab a Jab team are doing brilliant work, ensuring life-saving inoculations are available to people all over the county. This is especially important for those who have found it difficult to get to another vaccination site. Absolutely everybody involved in the local vaccination programme deserves our thanks and praise. In return, we should all take the opportunity to have the jab, whether we are young or old, so we can get lives back to normal as soon as possible.”
