Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi fears black and ethnic minorities may see a lower take-up of the Covid-19 vaccination.
There are concerns language and cultural barriers are feeding the spread of false information as the Government scientific advice panel revealed large differences in different communities taking the vaccine.
A document released by SAGE last week found a marked difference existed by ethnicity, with black ethnic groups the most likely to be Covid-19 hesitant, followed by Pakistani/Bangladeshi groups .
The report said adults in minority ethnic groups were less likely to receive vaccines than those in white groups, by between 10-20%.
Mr Zahawi said: My big worry is if 85% of the adult population get vaccinated, if the 15% skews heavily to the BAME community, the virus will very quickly infect that community.
