Fears Britain s great Covid vaccination rollout had stagnated were sparked yesterday after official data revealed the number of doses dished out had fallen for three days in a row.
And with less than a month to go until Number 10 s target of vaccinating 14million of the most vulnerable people expires, pressure is growing on officials to pick up pace.
In order to meet the lockdown-easing goal, the UK must average more than 350,000 doses a day from now until February 15.
Fewer than 210,000 vaccines were administered on Monday but yesterday s figure which is reported today is above 300,000 in England alone. Department of Health bosses will provide a UK-wide vaccine update later this afternoon.
