Pulse in the Press: GPs waiting for delayed Astra Zeneca vaccine collection

A Pulse exclusive that hundreds of thousands of Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccines were going to waste was picked up by the Telegraph and featured on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex.

‘Tens of thousands’ of excess doses of the Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine risk being wasted when they expire over the next week, Pulse has been told, as NHS England admitted planned collections were ‘seriously delayed’. NHS England began asking vaccination sites for data on excess doses in May, and has since advised that it would ‘collect the vaccine and hope to move it internationally’, a GP whistle-blower told Pulse.

The story has been covered by the Telegraph.
