vaccine results as a “watershed moment” in the fight against Covid-19. At his 5pm press conference on Monday Prime Minister Boris Johnson said “the scientific cavalry was on the way”.
But the normally over-optimistic Prime Minister was reined in and urged people to continue to stick to social distancing rules and lockdowns across the UK until the vaccine is proven.First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also welcomed the news but urged caution.She tweeted: “Today’s vaccine news is very positive and offers light at the end of the tunnel.
But until large numbers can be vaccinated - which will still take some time - it is down to all of us to suppress the virus and save lives by sticking with all the rules and guidance”.Professor Jonathan Van-Tam,.
