Britain could have three coronavirus jabs available by the end of the year before returning to normality by Easter, an expert has claimed.
While hundreds of thousands of mass pregnancy-style Covid tests will be rolled out to each of 67 towns and cities across the UK allowing for results in just 15 minutes.
It comes amid reports a million people a week could be vaccinated under NHS plans to ensure a jab can be administered as quickly as it is manufactured.
Professor Sir John Bell, part of the UK Vaccine Taskforce, has predicted there may be "two or three vaccines" by Christmas following the first breakthrough from Pfizer/BioNTech, which hasn’t yet passed regulator tests.
