Data the Government and NHS are putting out on the coronavirus vaccine rollout in England is “not good enough”, the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) has said.
A dearth of data on who is receiving coronavirus vaccines means the public cannot know how well the programme is progressing, according to Professor Jennifer Rogers, a member of the RSS Covid-19 task force.
Eight weeks into the rollout, some 5.9 million people in England and 6.8 million people in the UK have received their first dose.
But there is currently no official information on how many doses have gone to each priority group in England, which include care home residents and their carers.
