The vaccines minister has urged people not to let revelations of government lockdown parties ‘affect their potential health’.
Maggie Throup accepts that public trust in the government may have been dented following revelations of parties at Number 10 during national lockdowns - but she said people can still have confidence in the coronavirus vaccination programme.
When asked if trust in the Government had been eroded she said “sadly that could be the case” but said people should still come forward for vaccination to “protect themselves, their loved ones and families”.
