The past year or so has been incredibly tough – but the arrival of millions of approved vaccines in centres across the country gives us a real light at the end of the tunnel.
Vaccines are at the centre of the UK Government’s plan to a route back to normality. Some 407m doses have been ordered, with multiple vaccines approved for use. A nationwide rollout is underway, with more than 10 million people having already received their first jab.

The whole of the UK is now working together to roll out the Covid-19 vaccine.
A total of 407 million doses have been bought by the UK Government, and every injection is helping to protect people and provide a route back to normality.
Every step of the roll-out involves a network of people collaborating across every nation of the UK to protect as many lives as quickly as possible, while also reducing hospital admissions that are creating such pressure on the NHS.
