Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday pushed back the full re-opening of England from lockdown until July 19 because of a rise in cases, but also accelerated his vaccination plans, pledging to give every adult a first dose by the same date.
Britain has given a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to more than 42 million people, almost 80% of adults, while well over a half have received both shots. Health authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each run their own vaccination campaigns. Wales and Northern Ireland have already made vaccines available to any adult, while Scotland is offering them to anyone over 30.

good
In case you missed how efficient other countries are at rolling out the vaccine GregHuntMP and ScottMorrisonMP auspol
Despite evidence indicating that localised spikes were due to vaccine hesitancy in vulnerable in Bolton and Kirklees.
