The country is very unequal and we often think that life as we experience it is pretty much the same as others do. Access to healthcare, as well as people's experience of it, including in other cultures, is mixed.
It makes sense we vary our response to delivery, to ensure that people at risk of falling through the cracks in the system, especially with high vulnerabilities, get included, rather than further marginalised. It's good that there are strategies for people living on the streets, it's needed for those in precariously vulnerable living and employment situations and others too. Sadly the BAME minorities are highly vulnerable and at risk of missing out. Education is a part of the requirements too, with effective communication strategies |

Trust in COVID vaccines is growing, data suggests
Positive attitudes towards coronavirus vaccines have increased, with nearly 95% of adults saying they have either received the jab or would be likely to have it if offered, new data suggests.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show 94% of adults surveyed between 17 and 21 February reported they had now either received the vaccine or would be very or fairly likely to have it if offered.
This is up from 91% the previous week and has risen from early December 2020 when around eight in 10 (78%) adults indicated they would be likely to accept the vaccine if offered it.
Of the adults who said they would be unlikely to have the vaccine or had decided not to have it, the most common reasons were being worried about long-term impacts on their health (43%), being concerned about the side effects (37%) and waiting to see how well it worked (34%).

Te the original OP it makes sense the cities are behind percentage wise in their vaccinations due to the pure numbers of people involved. The borough I live in doesn’t have a high demographic of elderly, another reason the elderly numbers appear low.
At the end of the day each area is moving at its own pace, we aren’t behind in vaccines offered, but the uptake in some demographics could be down for various reasons. |
