Think tank calls for new vaccine research registry

Policy Exchange report warns UK’s leadership position on vaccines is “under threat” as uptake declines

The government should develop a comprehensive research registry to boost vaccine uptake, according to a report from a right-leaning think tank.

In its new report, A Fresh Shot, experts at Policy Exchange warn that the UK’s leadership position on vaccines is “under threat”, with uptake of both Covid and flu jabs down on last year’s figures. Coverage rates for routine programmes offered on the NHS are also in decline.
