It’s been a long, hard year of lockdowns, social distancing, and confusing tiered systems, but with three effective coronavirusvaccines having been produced, and one having been approved for use in the UK, an end is finally in sight. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has already been given to some of the most vulnerable people in the country, and was rolled out on Monday across hundreds of local vaccination centres run by GPs. More than 130,000 people are estimated to have been vaccinated this week alone.  The UK’s vaccination chief, Minister Nadhim Zahawi, today welcomed a “really good start” to the programme, while Health Secretary Matt Hancock added: “This is just the start and we will steadily expand our vaccination programme – ultimately helping everyone get back to normal life.” But there are concerns about the public’s willingness to sign up for the jab, despite Mr Hancock’s suggestion he receive it live on air to reassure those who doubt its safety. Just 53 per cent of the country said they would take the vaccine, according to a recent study by King’s College London and Ipsos MORI, while it is estimated that around 70 per cent would need to be vaccinated to end the pandemic.
