MPs demand to know why government changed Covid-19 vaccination roll-out
Doses of the Oxford University/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine arrive at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, West Sussex

MORE than 40 MPs have demanded to know why the government has changed the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccination programme.
