LONDON (HRNW) – Britain announced Sunday that it has given more than 20 million people at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, with the rapid rollout providing hope in a country with Europe s highest death toll.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson called it “a huge national achievement” while praising National Health Service staff and others involved for “tireless work”.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock made the announcement in a video message on Twitter, saying: “I m absolutely delighted that over 20 million people have now been vaccinated.”
A total of 20,089,551 people have received a first dose, according to government figures released Sunday.
In mid-February, the UK met a government target of 15 million of the most vulnerable people receiving first doses.
