Available for over a year

The Chief Executive of Worcestershire County Council has denied he and other council directors 'queue jumped' to received Coronavirus jabs last week. Paul Robinson and his colleagues were offered the vaccine at short notice because a number of doses were spare and would otherwise have been wasted. With 10 per cent of local care home residents still waiting for their injections, a newspaper headline suggested it was "jabs for the boys." I spoke to him earlier and he told me this wasn't the case.
