Covid-19: Angry calls and threats over Chesterfield
FC vaccines



A medical centre received angry calls and one staff member was threatened after
players at a nearby football club were given Covid vaccines.

Chesterfield FC said some players and staff, "most of them vulnerable", were given
jabs to stop them being wasted.

However, the medical centre which gave the vaccines has received dozens of angry
phone calls since news of the vaccinations appeared in the media.

One threatened a female member of staff, saying he knew where she lived.

The woman has reported the threat to Derbyshire Police, which has confirmed
it is investigating.

She told the BBC: "My personal details have been put out and I've actually had
threats because of this. I got a call saying they knew where I and my family live and
to get ready.

"I'm trying to do my job and I've had almost 40 calls this morning. People are
phoning the surgery to complain about what's happened because it's been
misinterpreted by a reporter who rang me yesterday and was really aggressive.

"It's become very upsetting. I've been on to the police this morning trying to deal
with the threats. It's not nice."

She said the players and staff members were given the Pfizer vaccine, which is
stored at sub-zero temperatures and has to be used up after being thawed.

It comes after a thousand doses of Pfizer vaccine - worth 瞿12,000 - had to be
thrown away in Warwickshire because a parcel was left unrefrigerated for two-and-
a-half hours.

"They are very precious vaccines and we are trying desperately not to waste them,"
said the NHS staff member who was threatened.

"They had to get there within 15 minutes or it would have gone down the drain.

"We're working 12 hours a day, seven days a week to try and get this done and all
of that work has been overshadowed by this."
