official figures from the regulator the mhra, up to the end of last month, show there were 399 casesoses of the vaccine. and public health england says the vaccination programme has so far prevented an estimated 27,000 deaths in england alone. but lisa�*s husband gareth eve is calling for everyone to be given a choice about which vaccine they have. victoria derbyshire spoke to him in his first interview since her death. scary thing for me is that the vaccines are being given to people, and have been given to people and we were aware early in the year, we are aware that these vaccines come with certain risks. but for whatever reason, we don�*t know who these adverse reactions are going to appear in. it is a lottery. and... that thought is quite scary, that, you know, people are getting these jabs and we don�*t know whether it is going to have a bad reaction or not. and the guys in the hospital that were treating lisa, as i say, they didn�*t really know what they were facing. they did not know how to treat it, and for me, in a situation like that, you know, and i say this, and i am abs

nhs england and the medicines regulator, the mhra, say pulse oximeters can overestimate the amount ofessionals before using the devices and not to rely on a single reading. the director of the nhs race and health observatory, dr habib naqvi, says concerns about oximeters' reliability have been mounting. although a valuable clinical tool, what we do know is that clinicians are increasingly becoming aware of the potential errors or inconsistencies in the interpretation associated with pulse oximeter readings, and so we need to have these points in mind when using these devices. this is an example of health inequalities that we see, as an example of the disproportionate, kind of, stratification that we have in terms of accessing health care. what we do know is that oxygen is probably the most common drug used in the care of patients who present with medical emergencies, and healthcare professionals are increasingly reliant on the pulse oximeter to detect early deterioration and to inform clinical decision—making, so we need to get this right. earlier i spoke to dr olamide dada, one of th
