Health care staff in Chippenham are celebrating after reaching the 20,000 Covid jabs mark.
The team at Chippenham, Corsham and Box primary care network decorated the outside of Rowden surgery with balloons.
Many of the jabs are being given at the site which has a dedicated marquee outside.
Staff celebrated with a cake, and the surgery group bought the 200 staff and volunteers Easter eggs in thanks of their hard work.
"We're a whopping 73.14% of the way though our vaccinations," said the surgery. We are currently starting Cohort 7, but please do not call us, if your records show you to be eligible we will contact you.
"We are making great progress but please bear with us. Unfortuneatly we cannot offer advice or additional information regarding the vaccinations or estimate when you or your family may be vaccinated.
"Currently vaccination appointments are by invite only. if you have not been invited as you will be turned away."
The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald was invited to look behind the scenes at the Rowden Surgery, where many of the vaccines are being given to patients from Hathaway, Box, Porch and Lodge surgeries.
