The frontline doctors in the UK have been reportedly denied the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech resulting in NHS (National Health Service) workers to be alarmed and “scrabbling” to get immunisations. As per the Guardian report, a fresh survey has revealed that nearly two-thirds of the medical professionals who responded to the pandemic in the nation have still not received their inoculations and half of them believe that delivery of vaccines to the NHS frontline workers has been “ad hoc”. Moreover, a third of them are clueless about when they will be offered the COVID-19 vaccine.
The survey through UK’s state-funded health service was conducted by EveryDoctor constituting of 1,316 doctors. It also came at the time when the British health regulator is preparing to approve Oxford-AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine. This has also led the NHS doctors to believe that the availability of the second vaccine could drastically increase the immunisation for frontline workers in the UK as well as the citizens.
