Congratulations to Rosa on reaching her 100th good deed down at the Covid-19 vaccination centre in the ExCel! She was joined by me and Graham from Newham and possibly some other GoodGymmers (hard to tell with all the masks) along with about 30 other Barts NHS volunteers. Numbers of people coming to get their jabs have been picking up recently, with about 1600 given on Saturday. We had a range of tasks between us from welcoming and directing people arriving into the car park, showing them which queue to join, then managing people going in and out of the pods where they're given the vaccine. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get a (socially disctanced) team picture as Rosa was sent home early for reasons that are not completely clear to me (I'll assume it wasn't because she was being disruptive or anything like that) so we'll have to make do with the one we have of Graham rocking the Barts tabard.

Look forward to going back for another shift and hopefully seeing some more GoodGymmers there soon.
