An NHS group has cancelled coronavirus vaccine jabs just days before elderly and vulnerable patients will be allowed to see their families at Christmas.
Covid-19 jab hubs opened in Huddersfield and Batley in West Yorkshire on Wednesday and drive-through centres in Dewsbury and Liversedge were due to begin administering the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
However, NHS North Kirklees CCG, which is overseeing the rollout of the vaccine in the area, said it has had to scrap those plans because that option does not conform to the latest guidance from the Government.
Patients over 80 who had vaccine appointments at hubs in either area over the coming days now face an uncertain delay heading into the festive season, YorkshireLive reports.
