It's been hailed as one of the most effective initiatives in UK history; the vaccination programme that's helped us move out of lockdown and saved millions of lives across the world. Now, the Herefordshire woman who was at the very heart of the rollout has been telling BBC Hereford & Worcester about the 4 million pound gambles she took when ordering the jab, and what she thinks the government could have done better. Dame Kate Bingham has been talking to our reporter Nicola Goodwin about those vital decisions she made last year.
