Coronavirus vaccine chaos with appointments axed last minute as surgeries wait for jab

mirror.co.uk:

The Covid vaccine rollout could turn into a PPE-style fiasco, MPs, doctors and care chiefs warned last night. Hundreds of GP surgeries and scores of hospitals are still waiting for Pfizer jabs.

Vaccine appointments for the most vulnerable are being cancelled at the last minute because of the delay, doctors say. And 12,000 of the country’s 15,000 care homes are not even being considered for jabs right now – with only seven areas of England getting them so far.

Health leaders have also raised concerns many frontline NHS staff are still not being sent for jabs. On Christmas Eve the Government said 616,933 people in the UK had been given a first dose – 512,594 in England.
