Britain’s Johnson pledges UK vaccine program will run 24-7
LONDON — Britain’s coronavirus vaccine program will operate around the clock seven days a week “as soon as we can,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged Wednesday as the U.K. accelerates efforts to inoculate millions of its most vulnerable people against coronavirus. Johnson said “at the moment, the limit is on supply” of the vaccines rather than on the ability of the country’s health service to deliver jabs quickly. “There’s no doubt that it was, but getting better.. We have millions of doses coming through in the weeks and then next month and the month after.” The challenge, Zahawi said, was not just getting vaccine shots into people’s arms, but the difficulty of reaching vulnerable people. “If you have an outbreak at one of the centers — which we’ve had actually — or in one of the groups in Oxford working on new variants, or the people that are working on the regulatory files, everything stops.’' The government is desperately trying to protect people with vaccines before hospitals are overwhelmed with cases of the new, more infections virus variant.
