Around 500,000 people have had the coronavirus vaccine despite the Health Secretary saying he expected millions to get the jab by Christmas.
Boris Johnson said today at a No 10 press conference that more than half-a-million people in the UK have had the first dose of the two-part vaccinate.
This equates to around 38,000 people a day since the vaccine was rolled out but means it is unlikely that Matt Hancock will hit his target with just days to go before Christmas.
British grandmother Margaret Keenan became the first patient in the world to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 jab on December 8 following its clinical approval.
