London - Sana
British Health Minister Matt Hancock said that his country is vaccinating 200,000 people daily with the Corona virus vaccine.
Reuters quoted Hancock as saying in statements today, "At the moment, more than 200,000 people are being vaccinated daily and we are preparing to increase the number to two million people per week, which is the rate required to protect the most vulnerable groups by mid-February."
He added, "We have vaccinated about a third of those over 80 in this country, so we are making great progress, but there is still more expansion in this regard .. We will open centers for mass vaccination this week."
It is noteworthy that the outcome of confirmed infections with the new Corona virus in Britain yesterday exceeded the three million mark, becoming the fifth country in the world to cross this threshold, while the leading companies in the production of Corona vaccines in the world rush to find out whether their vaccines are effective in the face of the new mutations of the virus that were detected in South Africa and Britain .
