More than 200,000 vaccines a day are being administered in the UK, Matt Hancock has said. And he said the UK is on course to deliver 2 million vaccines a week.

The Health Secretary said the Government was on course to reach its target of 13 million people vaccinated by mid-February. He told Sky News' Sophy Ridge: "Yes we're on course.

"This week we're opening mass vaccination centres.
