AN MP and GP are calling for a significant ramping up of the vaccine rollout in North Wales. Dr James Davies, who is also a GP, and Dr Nitin Shori, partner at the surgery at Park House surgery in Prestatyn, have both aired concerns about the slow rate of vaccine administration compared to other parts of the UK. Dr Davies claims he has been “inundated” with messages from constituents who have not yet received an appointment, despite being within a top priority group for the Covid vaccine. Dr Shori said he too has been approached by patients who are keen to know when they will be vaccinated.
