Concerns raised about hundreds of 'empty slots' for Covid-19 vaccine The chair of the British Medical Association (BMA) in the north said he was aware of "630 empty slots" in the Royal Victoria Hospital vaccination centre yesterday morning. Seanín Graham 12 January, 2021 08:30 Robin Swann, Stormont's health minister, said it was misleading to suggest there were "hundreds" of unfilled vaccine slots. Concerns have been raised about hundreds of unfilled booking slots for the Pfizer vaccine. It comes amid criticism by doctors about a decision to delay second doses in order to vaccinate the more vulnerable with their first jab. Dr Tom Black, chair of the British Medical Association (BMA) in the north, said he was aware of "630 empty slots" in the Royal Victoria Hospital vaccination centre yesterday morning.
