play-icon Video report by ITV News Political Reporter Shehab Khan and Senior Producer Roohi Hasan ITV News has visited two of the worst Covid hit areas with large ethnic minority communities, London s Tower Hamlets and Birmingham, to see first hand the issues and concerns facing the local vaccine effort. New figures seen exclusively by ITV News show that black people in Tower Hamlets are lagging far behind white counterparts in vaccination uptake, with 58% compared to 88%. In the borough, South Asians are dying at three times the rate of their white counterparts. One local GP told us: “The death rate in this area from Covid is one of the highest in the country. And yet the community that is most likely to die from Covid is the least likely to come forward and be vaccinated. And that is of enormous concern to me and other GPs.”
