The programme to vaccinate all housebound patients has also been completed.

Those aged over 70 who have not yet received a jab have been told to book an appointment at one of the larger vaccination centres by calling 119.

The next group to received vaccines at Etchingham will be those aged between 65 and 69. Northiam and Broad Oak said these appointments cannot yet be booked but they expect the go-ahead from NHS England in the next few days. Patients will then be contacted to book their appointments.
