On Monday, we reached our target to vaccinate the most vulnerable by the 15th of April - meaning that we can now begin to vaccinate those aged over 45 as we continue to progress towards our target of offering all adults across the UK a vaccine by the end of July.
It is extremely good news that all those in the target groups 1-9 have been offered a life-saving COVID-19 jab, more than 40 million of which have been given in total. Prioritising those at increased risk from the virus will mean that we save the most lives, as we continue to progress towards our target of offering all adults across the UK a vaccine by the end of July.
Following a successful start last week in Wales, the Moderna vaccine is now being rolled-out in England, meaning the UK now has three safe and effective vaccines being rolled out across the country!
