Northern Ireland's Health Minister has said the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine is likely to be significantly ramped up with one of the largest deliveries of the AstraZeneca jab to Northern Ireland expected this week.
He said some of the regional vaccination centres are being moved from Pfizer to AstraZeneca due to the imminent delivery. He described loss rate of vaccinations at the Ulster Hospital as 0.24% and said this was "mostly down to spoilage due to cracked vials rather than a waste due to management processes".
