Undocumented Asian migrants in Britain are travelling hundreds of kilometres to get coronavirus vaccine shots in London’s Chinatown instead of local doctors.
On Monday, about 1,500 people were offered jabs at a pop-up vaccination centre at the China Exchange building in Gerrard Street.
It was the sixth vaccination event organised by the Chinese Information and Advice Centre (CIAC). The first one in May had to be halted after hundreds of people turned up for only 150 vaccines available. Police had to intervene and many who weren’t able to get a shot left disappointed.
