Britain starts vaccination against COVID-19

The country plans to begin vaccinating the population next week. The vaccine will be administered to the elderly, as well as to those who live and work in nursing homes.

Vaccination of the population against the coronavirus begins in the United Kingdom. The National Health Service (NHS) plans to start vaccines on December 8, writes BBC News.

Vaccination priorities are for nursing home residents and staff, as well as people over 80 who are at risk.

According to NHS Executive Director Chris Hopson, the COVID-19 vaccine will be delivered to 50 hospitals.

“The long-awaited news about vaccines means that we can look with great optimism to 2021,” noted the doctors, adding that, however, no one expects the virus to “disappear” even after full vaccination.

Remember that Britain was the first to approve the use of the Pfizer and BioNTech coronavirus vaccine.

It was previously reported that vaccination against the coronavirus had started in Moscow. Sputnik V vaccine can still be vaccinated by people from the risk group: employees of education, health care, social services of the city.
