0h 7min, apr 16, 2026 y - Covid Vaccines- Inquiry Report

Description:

The rollout of Covid vaccines – the largest immunisation programme in UK history - was an "extraordinary feat", the Covid inquiry said.

The fourth report from the inquiry praised the speed in which jabs were developed and deployed – 132 million were given in 2021 - alongside how the UK discovered which treatments worked best against the virus.

The positive headlines contrast with the first three reports that were highly critical of the government's pandemic planning, decision-making and management of the NHS.

But the report said more needed to be done to address vaccine hesitancy and those harmed by the Covid jabs should have easier access to bigger payouts.
