Analysis shows the three areas where wait for flu jabs likely worst in England

Mr Beremski continued: “A successful rollout in this case would be parity between the times different regions are waiting for their flu jabs.

“But, by using our AI to map supply and demand, we found that this is simply not the case.

“Our data gives a snapshot of the reality that away from cities, where the average age of residents is usually lower, many coastal and Northern regions are going to feel the impact of bottlenecks in the supply chain.”

In fact, the firm’s analysis has suggested that residents in such coastal areas as Cornwall, Devon and Northumberland could end up waiting up to 33 percent longer for their jabs than their counterparts in large cities like London and Manchester.
