And the chief medical officer for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said officials still expected to get enough supplies to offer vaccinations to everyone in the top four priority groups by mid-February.
It comes amid conflicting reports about whether doses of the vaccine originally intended for Yorkshire, which has been one of the fastest regions to roll out the programme, were to be redirected to other parts of the country.
The Yorkshire Post understands that while West Yorkshire s overall allocation of vaccine will remain unchanged in the longer term, it will get a smaller supply in the short term while other areas are allowed to catch up.
Dramatic changes seen in delivery of radiotherapy treatments during coronavirus pandemic
Dramatic changes were seen in the delivery of radiotherapy treatments for cancer during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in England.
Much shorter radiotherapy courses were delivered, treatments were delayed where it was safe to do so and some increases were seen in order to compensate for reduced surgical capacity.
Experts believe the changes reflect an impressive adaption of services by the NHS, and that the overall impact on cancer outcomes is likely to be modest.
The new research, led by the University of Leeds, with Public Health England and the Royal College of Radiologists, reveals that there was a decrease in radiotherapy treatment courses of 19.9% in April, 6.2% in May, and 11.6% in June 2020, compared with the same months the previous year.
