Our new study showing wide inequalities in Covid-19 vaccine uptake between ethnic groups in Greater Manchester. Inequalities were far wider than for routine flu vaccine uptake pre-pandemic. doi.org/10.1371/journa… with @rwilliams251 @Mons93Stephanie @carolin_sanders @MattXSutton

Brilliant to be at Gorton Monastery with @Mons93Stephanie today discussing how to tackle health inequalities with community organisations and public contributors @ARC_GM_

New @UoMPolicy blog post with @MattXSutton reacting to the news the government is sticking to age-based prioritisation for phase 2 COVID-19 vaccinations. This will increase health inequalities and is a poor use of limited supplies

Incredibly proud of @katcoyte - a Nature paper AND her first twitter thread!

Important discussion of the ways inequalities and biases get encoded in health data, and the need for researchers to understand this and challenge racism and discrimination. thelancet.com/journals/landi…
