government chief has revealed. Kate Bingham said ministers are aiming to vaccinate 30m people "most at risk" of the bug - less than half the population of 67m.
The chair of the UK vaccine task force told the Financial Times that vaccinating everyone in the country was “not going to happen”, adding: “We just need to vaccinate everyone at risk.” She said the government was aiming to vaccinate about 30m people, compared with a UK population of about 67m, if a successful vaccine against Covid-19 was found.
The managing partner of SV Health added: “People keep talking about ‘time to vaccinate the whole population’, but that is misguided.“There’s going to be no vaccination of people under 18.
