Health Secretary Matt Hancock took to Twitter to congratulate the British public, reports The Sun, as a milestone was reached of one million people already receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, posting, “Huge THANK YOU to everyone playing their part in the national effort to beat coronavirus. Over a million people have been vaccinated already. With the vaccine roll-out accelerating, the end is in sight & we will get through this together”.
Pfizer and Oxford/AstraZeneca have both rubbished recent claims that there are not enough doses available, with a spokesman for Pfizer saying today (Saturday), “We do not have any supply issues from our side at this point with regards to what has been agreed with the UK”, while a spokesman for Oxford/AstraZeneca said, “The plan is to build it up fairly rapidly, by the third week of January we should get two million a week”.
