Coronavirus UK news – Boris brings second vaccine doses forward as Indian variant threatens June freedom


WHAT DID THE PM SAY IN HIS SPEECH TONIGHT?

The PM announced that millions of Brits would get their second jabs sooner in light of the Indian coronavirus strain hitting some areas.

Mr Johnson was joined at the podium by chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty.

The PM said the gap between first and second jabs would be cut to eight weeks but insisted his roadmap is still on track.

He said tonight: “We will accelerate remaining second doses, especially for the clinically vulnerable, right across the country, to just eight weeks after the first date.

“And if you are in this group the NHS, will be in touch with you. We will also prioritise first jabs for anyone eligible who has not yet come forward.”

Mr Johnson assured people in England that the unlocking on Monday would happen as planned, meaning holidays and indoor mixing is finally allowed again.
