A member of the UK's inoculation committee has said that "politicians need to understand the science" before they make false claims, after the French president questioned the effectiveness of the AstraZeneca jab in over-65s.

"In my view the politicians need to understand the science before they make utterances like that," Professor Anthony Harnden of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) told Good Morning Britain on Monday. 

"This vaccine [AstraZeneca's Covid-19 jab], from the data, is very very effective against hospitalisations and deaths and nearly 100% effective actually," he noted.
