Unite demands government appoint a vaccine minister to avoid another PPE ‘fiasco’

THE government must appoint a vaccine minister to avoid another protective-quipment “fiasco,” one of Britain’s biggest unions demanded yesterday.

Unite urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to appoint the new cabinet position to ensure the smooth roll-out of the jab.

The union fears that without senior ministerial leadership in place, Britain will see a repeat of the “fiasco” over PPE that left thousands of health workers without proper protection.
