Read our privacy policy Data from the government and the NHS on the coronavirus vaccine rollout in England is currently “not good enough”, the Royal Statistical Society has warned. Recommended Teachers should be in next phase of vaccine rollout says NHS chief Prof Rogers said the available information was “not good enough to be able to answer all the questions that we might ask of this vaccine rollout”. “This would be a deeply undesirable situation that would amplify the health inequalities already found in society.” Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday that vaccine data on ethnicity and occupation was being collected and would be published “very soon”. A spokesperson for the NHS said: “As has been the case from the start of the vaccination programme, when someone is vaccinated this fact links to their NHS records, enabling population uptake to be monitored by ethnicity, and with aggregate data shared with local authority directors of public health as they lead work to ensure equitable community uptake.” They added that ethnicity data was now being recorded through the IT system Pinnacle, as a “belt-and-braces supplementary measure”.
