Isle Of Wight Vaccine Roll-Out: More Than 88,000 Islanders Receive First Dose
By Oliver Dyer
Less than 500 people received their first coronavirus vaccine on the Isle of Wight in the last week.
The fall in the number of people having their first dose on the Island is most likely down to the Government pausing the roll-out for some cohorts.
A need to provide second doses to those who had their first in January means appointments are limited throughout April.
NHS England figures show a total of 88,348 first jabs have now been handed out here.

Healthcare in the USA
The USA does not have a universal, free healthcare program, unlike most other developed countries. Instead, in line with the free-market-virtue mindset, most Americans are served by a mix of publicly and privately funded programs and healthcare systems.
Most hospitals and clinics are privately owned, with about 60% being non-profits, and another fifth being for-profit facilities. Coverage by federal and state programs is partial, and most insured Americans have employment-based private insurance.
Group plans funded by the employer cover about 150 million Americans.
Private insurance
These include health maintenance organizations (HMOs), which are networks of providers. Insured patients see a primary care physician (PCP), whose refers them to a specialist if necessary.
