  Huge numbers of people took up the option to be vaccinated as soon as they were eligible but demand has now slowed in certain areas forcing the redistribution of some vaccines to areas where demand is higher.

  That includes nightclubs, which Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi revealed yesterday would be required to see a 'vaccine passport' for proof of full vaccination before allowing entry.
