Vaccination
PM now has a reputation for dither, but this is a delay worth getting right.
Fresh push to inoculate against Covid-19 comes as Matt Hancock pledges every UK adult can get vaccine by autumn.
More than a million people have now received their first jab to protect them against the virus.
"Reduced adherence (to restrictions) could more than offset the benefits of vaccination by increasing infection rates," scientists warn.
Britain is under fire for its handling of the jabs, but the rollout in some other countries has been described as a “disaster”.
Grandmother Margaret Keenan, 90, became the first patient in the world to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 jab following its clinical approval as the NHS launched its biggest ever vaccine campaign on Tuesday.
Matt Hancock says the rollout of the vaccine, in one of the biggest programmes in NHS history, meant there was a "way through" the crisis.
Vaccinations will be administered at dozens of hospital hubs from Tuesday.
The immunisation programme has been described as “one of the greatest challenges the NHS has ever faced”.
Over 70s who have not been offered a jab are being urged to contact the NHS.
