The UK takes a huge step forward on Tuesday in its fight against coronavirus as the vaccination programme gets under way. The Pfizer/BioNTech jab has been shown to be 95% effective and works across all age groups, including the elderly.
The NHS will begin its largest ever vaccination programme with the aim of eventually vaccinating millions of people against coronavirus.
We asked people if they would have the jab. The answer was a strong ‘Yes!’ Covid survivor Betty Brown, 92, from Belford, Northumberland, had no doubts, saying: “If it is good enough for the Queen, it is good enough for me.” Betty was admitted to hospital on November 9 but bounced back to entertain the “fantastic” staff with tales of her saxophone playing.
