LONDON (UK) – On Sunday, the National Health Service denied reports in the media which claimed that it has not given any commitment to deliver two million coronavirus shots every week.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the NHS did not make any commitments because of the supply of shots and issues related to logistics, which include creating a team of vaccinators. An NHS spokeswoman said the “story is not true”.
“As the CMO has said, the main barrier to vaccine delivery will be availability of the vaccine, and it is completely untrue that staffing constraints are currently standing in the way of vaccine rollout, with the NHS ready to deliver vaccine as supply becomes available,” the spokeswoman said.
“The NHS is off to a strong start vaccinating one million people and now beginning the rapid rollout of the Oxford-AstraZeneca, which will enable us to vaccinate millions more people with the support of tens of thousands of vaccinators,” she added.
