COVID vaccines
Last week, Lincolnshire’s NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) apologised after a Lincoln resident under the age of 40 was turned away at the Showground vaccination site due to the unavailability of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
Bosses have now confirmed the site is focusing on Oxford-AstraZeneca (AZ) second doses and would need to expand to accommodate Pfizer vaccines for under 40s.
A week on and another Lincolnshire resident, Oliver Peatman, 31, was turned away from the Showground due to his age and supply issues, and had to travel to a centre in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire.
He said: “Why has it all gone so wrong for my age group?! When it was seeming to be almost faultless with all older age groups? Absolute shambles.
