Downing Street defends not giving vaccine to police and teachers – Gloucestershire Live
“Giving priority to certain professions would not be as effective or as fast in reducing deaths and hospitalisations”
Downing Street has defended the decision not to prioritise key workers such as police officers in the next phase of the coronavirus vaccine rollout.
A No 10 spokesman said: The JCVI have advised that even in the under 50s, age remains the biggest single factor determining mortality and hospitalisations, so it is therefore right that we accept their advice to continue to prioritise by age as this will protect the most people and have the biggest impact on reducing NHS pressures.
