A DOCTORS' surgery has administered more than 3,500 coronavirus vaccinations within two weeks.
Constable Country Medical Practice, in East Bergholt, turned into a vaccination hub earlier this month.
It started vaccinating patients about two weeks ago and has also been giving the vaccine to house bound patients.

A statement from the surgery said: "We are happy to say that we have achieved 90 to 95 per cent coverage in patients within the first four priority groups.
"We have also been doing house bound patient and have achieved about 80 per cent coverage there too.
"This would not have been possible without our PPG, volunteers as well as staff and we would like to say a big thank you to them for all their support and kindness."
The surgery gets set limited supplies of the type and number of vaccines as decided by the local health authority which also have to be used up within a given timeframe.
The surgery said it does not hold any significant stock at the premises.
It added: "We have to follow government and local health body guidelines about inviting different priority groups for the vaccination, hence why we cannot predict any time scales for when people will get vaccinated.
"We are running this programme along side our regular clinic and trying to balance both to the best of our ability.
"However, it is inevitable some services will be affected and we apologise for the same."
Many of its patients have been given a date for their second dose of the Covid vaccine.
If the expected date changes the surgery will contact patients directly.
