Britain has given a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine to more than 10 million people as public health experts called on ministers to target future vaccinations in hotspots where the disease is threatening to run out of control.
Official figures from across the UK’s four nations showed that 374,756 people received a jab on Tuesday, taking the headline total to just over the milestone at 10.02m, less than two months after the vaccination programme began.
On 8 December 91-year-old Margaret Keenan became the first person in the country – and the world – to receive an initial dose of the vaccine at a hospital in Coventry and the pace of vaccinations has ramped up rapidly since.
