Statement from Mayor of London on Vaccination Stats

Here is a statement from the Mayor of London following the publication of regional vaccination statistics:

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I am hugely concerned that Londoners have received only a tenth of the vaccines that have been given across the country. The situation in London is critical with rates of the virus extremely high, which is why it’s so important that vulnerable Londoners are given access to the vaccine as soon as possible. I have repeatedly called on the Government to scale up the vaccine supply, and will be meeting the Minister for COVID Vaccine Deployment today to ensure that we urgently receive an amount of the vaccine that reflects our size, density and the level of need in our city.”
