Hackney and Tower Hamlets are in the worst performing area for vaccinations in the UK, according to the latest regional statistics released by Public Health England.
Despite Hackney more than halving their number of confirmed cases since Christmas, East London at large, which covers Hackney and Tower Hamlets and other neighbouring boroughs, has vaccinated only 69.6%, amounting to 40,006 people of its 80+ population as of the end of January. Croydon and Lewisham, are performing somewhat better at 76.3%, with a total of 46,265 vaccinations at the end of last week in their over 80s group. However, both lag behind Gloucestershire, the national leaders, with 94.9% covered, amounting to 35,483 of their over 80s.

San Francisco prepares for a different kind of New Yearâs Eve
Christien Kafton reports.
SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco health leaders said there are encouraging signs that infection rates are dropping. But that good news comes with a warning about New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The head of the Department of Public Health is saying these latest data don t reflect a possible surge from families gathering over Christmas, and he says it is critical that we buckle down this New Year’s Eve.
Traditionally, New Year’s Eve is a time of celebration with family and friends. But celebrations to mark the end of 2020 will be muted by stay home orders and COVID-19.
