Prime Minister Boris Johnson has praised the staff at Al-Hikmah Centre in Batley for their efforts in dispelling myths around Covid-19 vaccines. The Islamic centre, one of several mosques to turn their premises into pop-up clinics, has been vaccinating about 600 patients a day since it opened.
On a visit to the centre on February 1, Johnson said, “Spreading a sense of positivity about the vaccine” was vital.
