The head of the UK’s vaccine taskforce has been appointed to a new unit set up to help tackle the shortage in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products.
The health secretary, Sajid Javid, announced Madelaine McTernan will lead the new HRT taskforce. It is hoped the lessons from supplying millions of coronavirus vaccines rapidly throughout the UK can be applied to HRT product shortages, Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) ministers said.
