Hospitals in the UK have been told that the coronavirus vaccine should be distributed to them “in as little as 10 days’ time”, around 7, 8 or 9 December.
Healthcare workers, people aged 70+ and people at very high risk of contracting coronavirus due to health problems are to be given high priority.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also appointed a new minister to take charge of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, to oversee the distribution of the vaccines.
