Supply to NHS region to be halved from next week to help London and other areas reach targets
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%.
