Boris needs to get a shift on.
"Andrew Lane, chair of the National Pharmacy Association, said the approval of the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine “means that many more pharmacies are now capable of offering vaccinations”.
“The vast majority of pharmacies provide flu vaccinations, so there are thousands of potential local pharmacy sites for vaccinating against COVID, capable of protecting millions of people within weeks,” he said.
“We are bound to ask: what on earth is stopping the NHS from mobilising more pharmacies for this vital task?
“Pharmacists want to help, they are already trained for giving vaccines, and people are crying out for convenient local access to the vaccine. It’s surely a no-brainer that pharmacies should be supported to take part in this urgent national effort.”
