Care workers will be among first to get cold-stored jab, along with over-80s in hospital
Hundreds of thousands of care home residents will miss out on the first wave of Covid vaccinations when the rollout begins next week, the government has admitted.
The fragility of the newly licensed Pfizer vaccine means it will first be delivered only in hospitals. The news came hours after the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises ministers, said care home residents and staff should be prioritised.
