Vaccine supply is to be cut in half in the north-east and Yorkshire next week by the NHS to allow London and other regions lagging behind to catch up in immunising the over 80s.
Official data showed that the north-east and Yorkshire, the leading English NHS region, had given a first dose to two-thirds of its over 80s population – 67% – by 17 January whereas last place London had only treated just under half, at 49.8%.
GP practices in north-east were told to expect 100,000 doses next week, down from 200,000 according to the Health Service Journal, while the health secretary Matt Hancock indicated that supply to the capital will be increased.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has confirmed that London and parts of the South East, including Essex and Hertfordshire, will move into Tier 3. Mr Hancock told MPs stricter restrictions are necessary due to very sharp, exponential rises in Covid cases, and he outlined exactly which areas will enter Tier 3 restrictions in a statement to the Commons on Monday, December 14.
