Patients are refusing to have the Pfizer vaccine because they want to 'wait for the English one', a high profile doctor has said.
Paul Williams, former Labour MP for Stockton South, said people are refusing the jab that could be life-saving for themselves and those around them despite them being most at risk.
The doctor, who was made an OBE in the New Year Honours list for his services to Parliament and healthcare, branded the attitude as a consequence of nationalism.
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was made available to patients at the start of December, while the Oxford/AstraZeneca version was authorised on December 30.
