UK aims to vaccinate everyone at risk

If an effective vaccine against Covid-19 is found, the UK will first aim to vaccinate about 30 million people, less than half of the country’s population of about 67 million, according to the head of the country’s vaccine task force.

Rather than vaccinating everyone, the aim is to “vaccinate everyone at risk,” Kate Bingham, Chair of the UK Vaccine Taskforce, told the Financial Times, while detailing the aim of the programme.

According to her, those who believe that everyone in the population will be vaccinated are nurturing a “misguided perception,” said the report on Sunday.
