" Whitehall sources say plan is to vaccinate four to five million people a week within months
Every adult in Britain will be vaccinated by the end of June, senior Government figures hope, as they grow increasingly optimistic they will be able to accelerate the rollout.
The Telegraph can reveal Whitehall sources believe this target could now realistically be achieved as they plan to vaccinate four to five million people a week within months.
A further two vaccines in the pipeline, from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, could help Britain speed up the process to vaccinate all 54 million adults. A source said: "All over-18s by June – yes." They added: "It is delivery, delivery, delivery.”
While senior Government figures are now privately working to this target, the Department of Health – which said it hoped to have vaccinated "tens of millions" of Britons by April – are reluctant to publicly acknowledge a deadline."
All over 18s could have vaccine by 'end of June'
Well that's obviously NEVER going to happen even if they had capacity to vaccinate 60 mln per week right now - there seems to be fook all effort to deal with the anti-vaxxers.
