More than 2.6million people in the UK have now received their first dose of the vaccine. Across the UK, the target is to vaccinate 15million Brits in the top four priority groups by mid February. At the moment, these groups are care home workers and residents, NHS front-line staff, the over 70s and the extremely clinically vulnerable. The vaccines, made by either Oxford-AstraZeneca or Pfizer BioNTech, are being administered at hospitals, care homes, GP surgeries and vaccination centres.
