Stop people paying privately to skip the coronavirus vaccine queue
Coronavirus vaccine should be strictly administered by the NHS according to vulnerability and medical provision needs and NOT by ability to pay.
Prof Van Tam said this morning that people should not be able to skip the queue by paying privately for a vaccine.
"One of the things I like about the NHS is that it's there for everybody, irrespective of their level of wealth or who they are in society," he said.
"That's a really important principle to me, personally."
Prof Van Tam added that deciding such an issue would be "a ministerial decision" but added: "I am giving you my views as a clinician that I think these vaccines need to be prioritised to those who need them, not those who can afford to pay for them privately."

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not aware of any proposals for vaccinations to be available privately.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
