Nathan Adams is one of the Conservative Councillors on Warlingham Parish Council, and is a Paramedic Manager with the NHS Ambulance service. He had his COVID-19 vaccination at Westway Vaccination Centre, Caterham.
He was asked why he had the COVID-19 vaccination:
"I believe that it’s really important that we are all vaccinated, I want to encourage as many people as I can to have the COVID-19 vaccination, which is being offered free by the NHS and Government. COVID-19 has affected a lot of residents. It personally affected me hard, my father died of COVID-19 just before Christmas. He was in a care home and I was unable to see him for 7 months due to the lockdown. My family and I recently had been tested and were COVID-19 positive.
The volunteers at Westway were excellent, so helpful, well organised and they really make you feel safe. The whole process is no longer that 20 minutes.
You need to wait to be contacted. The NHS will let you know when it's your turn to have the vaccine. It's important not to contact the NHS for a vaccination before then.
Letters are being sent out every week – you might not get your letter straight away.
So I am doing this to make everyone that comes into contact me will be safe."
