There is no official date yet for when the vaccine will be administered to people aged 80 or above in Salisbury.
However, a GP who used to practise in the city expects it to happen by the end of the year.
The Pfizer/BioNTech jab is currently being rolled out by NHS staff in around 50 hospitals across the country and by a number of GPs.
