violence and aggression towards anyone is not acceptable. People are trying to get vaccinated and people are trying to do their job in delivering the vaccine. Very disappointed at this behaviour but we thank the public and other organisations for their support
This is completely unacceptable. Anti-vaxxers reportedly preventing people from live saving vaccines in Brighton.

As a non-PICU intensive care unit and as a person and as a parent…… only 6? This is incredibly disrespectful, upsetting and shortsighted. Very disappointed. So many people have had people they know taken by covid, the numbers may not be the ‘biggest’ but the impact is huge!
