Black Country NHS workers could get coronavirus vaccine by December

Diane Wake, chief executive of the Dudley Group NHS Trust, revealed the arrival of a vaccine could be just weeks away. She said the long-hoped-for vaccine could be made available for NHS workers before the end of the year, in what would be a major breakthrough in the fight against coronavirus. Ms Wake told a trust board meeting: 'I'm hoping for a Covid-19 vaccine to be available to healthcare providers some time in December. 'It has not been confirmed yet but I'm hoping to be able to offer a Covid-19 vaccine to our staff.' The chief executive said vaccines would likely be provided via mobile units.
