It comes after doctors have claimed that British patients are cancelling their coronavirus vaccine appointments because of the EU’s mass revolt against AstraZeneca’s jab over unproven blood clot fears.
Medical professionals involved in the UK’s rollout say Brits due their second dose have called with concerns about the vaccine, despite the EU’s own drug regulator, as well as the UK’s and the World Health Organization all insisting it is safe.

Doctors and officials warn that it is far more dangerous for people to not get vaccinated and even the EMA has urged people to keep taking the vaccine because blood clots aren’t actually any more common than usual.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has also urged people to keep getting the vaccine and said Britain must ‘keep calm and carry on jabbing’ if it wants to get life back to normal.
The NHS continues to steam ahead with its vaccine rollout and is now offering jabs to everyone over the age of 50.

‘I don’t know what I did. I was only on it for two days. It was going really well. People were talking to me, sending me messages, and I was getting rid of everybody who was inappropriate.
‘And then I was going to sit down and start communicating. And then, luckily someone had WhatsApp’ed me, they’d put their phone number in the messaging part to say, “if you want to just talk on WhatsApp rather than here”.
‘But he wasn’t responding on the app so I was like, “why aren’t you talking to me?” And he said, “Oh, it said you deleted your account?”, but I didn’t actually delete it.’
Sinitta has two adoptive children Magdalena and Zac with husband Andy Willner, who she split from in 2009 after seven years of marriage.
