NHS Warns Of Significant Reduction In Vaccine Supply
Health secretary Matt Hancock suggested vaccine supply is always lumpy .
Supply of the Covid-19 vaccine is to be hit by a “significant reduction” from the end of March, raising questions over whether under-50s will face a delay in getting the jab and the UK government’s vaccination targets.
A letter from the NHS in England to local health leaders published on Wednesday states that “volumes for first doses will be significantly constrained” for four weeks.
At a Downing Street press conference after the letter emerged, health secretary Matt Hancock repeatedly dodged questions about the reasons for the delay, saying only that “vaccine supply is always lumpy and we regularly send out technical letters to the NHS”.

A HEREFORD doctor is refusing to have the coronavirus vaccination, despite being involved in the rollout in the city where almost 3,000 people have been jabbed. Wargrave House Surgery GP Clare Jones sent a letter to Hereford and South Herefordshire MP Jesse Norman saying she would use her free will and conscience after weighing up the pros and cons. The letter, which was also sent to the Lockdown Sceptics website, said: Like most other people who decline the vaccine, I’m not an anti-vaxxer . My son is fully vaccinated; I have travel vaccines. But I weigh up the pros and cons of vaccines in a more informed way than most other people and have decided for now I don’t want it (likewise the flu vaccine).
