Residents in West Yorkshire are seeking clarity about how protected they are after the Government announced delays to the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

The roll-out of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine began in early December, with NHS workers and older people receiving the first injections in Leeds.

Initially, receivers of the vaccine were to wait three weeks before their second dose of the vaccine, in order to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Len Barker, 86, from Castleford, received his vaccine in December and was due to have the second one on Friday, January 8 - but it has now been cancelled.

The Government has announced plans to delay giving people the second dose of the Covid vaccine in order to give as many people as possible the first dose. Pictured: Ralph Evans, 88, receiving the Oxford University/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine at Pontcae Medical Practice in Merthyr Tydfil. PA.

Mr Barker said that he accepts the change, as he trusts the doctors, but his granddaughter Helen has asked for clarity about how protected he is with just one dose of the vaccine.

Mr Barker said: "I had my first vaccine a few weeks ago and was meant to have the second this Friday but thought I had better double check after seeing the news.

"The doctors said it was delayed and they were a bit confused about when I would have it.
