The Government website states that over the coming weeks and months the speed at which the vaccination is administered will increase.
It reads: “The rate of vaccination will increase as more doses become available and the programme continues to expand, with more vaccines being delivered direct to care homes.”
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said: “In just over three weeks, the NHS in every part of the UK has already set up hundreds of vaccination sites to ensure those most in need can receive their jab as quickly as possible.
“This is just the beginning and we are continually expanding our vaccination programme to help everyone get back to normal in the future.”
