The Moderna coronavirus vaccine is set to be rolled out in England from Tuesday.
All adults in the UK aged over 50 have now been offered a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. It means the Government has met its target of offering the jab to all of its top nine priority groups, including the clinically vulnerable and health and social care workers, three days ahead of its target date of April 15. The Joint Committee on Vaccine and Immunisation will shortly set out its final advice for the completion of the programme, expected to begin this week with those in their late 40s. NHS patients in England are also set to receive the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine from today.
