COVID Vaccinations
Vaccines are the best way to protect people from coronavirus and will save thousands of lives. Three vaccines have now been approved for use in the UK and the government has secured early access to more than 450 million vaccine doses through agreements with eight of the most promising vaccine candidates.
The UK COVID-19 vaccine rollout is the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history. The goal remains to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible, with the prioritisation guided by advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The JCVI are the independent experts who advise the government on which vaccine/s the UK should use and provide advice on who should be offered the vaccination first.
