The UK is the first in the world to start routine vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine today.

The UK government calls the first day of vaccination “V-DAY”.

The UK will first be vaccinated by people aged 80 and over and by medical personnel, with around 2 million people expected by the end of the year.

It is a university hospital in London, England, one day before the so-called ‘V-DAY’ when vaccination begins.

Trucks carrying the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and Bioentech are arriving one after another.

Special care is required in handling, such as storage at an extremely low temperature of -70 degrees Celsius, so the hands of personnel carrying the vaccine are also cautious.

The British medical staff, who will be vaccinated for the first time in the world, is also amazing.

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) says the first dose of Pfizer’s vaccine is given to people aged 80 and over.

Everyone who receives the first vaccine will receive a second vaccine after 3 weeks, health officials explained.

Nursing home staff and healthcare workers belonging to high-risk groups will be vaccinated at separate appointments, but the environment is generally tense.

British health officials expect deliveries of 4 million doses, equivalent to 2 million people who will receive two doses by the end of this year.

The end of Corona 19, compared to a marathon instead of a short distance!

The world is now holding its breath and watching the UK’s first vaccination.
