More Than Six Million Britons Fully Vaccinated Against Covid

by Michael Curzon
8 April 2021 6:51 PM
Influenza vaccine injection. Injection into a patient's arm of the 2018/2019 seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine for the northern hemisphere season. This is a quadrivalent inactivated vaccine designed for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection. Inactivated influenza vaccines contain dead influenza viruses. When injected, these stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies that protect against future infection by live viruses. Influenza vaccination is recommended for the elderly, the very young, and anyone suffering from respiratory or circulatory disease. It is provided annually because of the need to protect against new strains. This is a vaccine from the Sanofi Pasteur Europe company.

Britain has passed another milestone in its vaccine rollout with six million people now fully vaccinated against Covid. Almost 32 million have also received their first dose. Sky News has the story.

More than six million people in the UK are now fully vaccinated against Covid, while nearly 32 million have had their first dose.

Another 99,530 first jabs were administered on Wednesday, taking the total to 31,807,124.

And there were 408,396 second jabs, the second highest daily total to date, taking the number of people fully protected against Covid to 6,091,905. …

Vaccination numbers have been notably lower so far this month as the focus is placed on administering second jabs rather than moving down the age groups, but have picked up slightly since Tuesday saw the lowest number of first doses given since early January (40,744).

The first doses of the Moderna vaccine were administered in the UK [this week], in Wales.

The jab from the US pharmaceutical giant, along with the one from Pfizer, will be key if the Government is to meet its target of offering every adult a jab by the end of July.

Despite this success, the Government remains uninterested in speeding up Britain’s reopening. Matt Hancock recently suggested that freedom could only be reclaimed through weekly mass testing – yet another shift of the goalposts.

Everyone will be able to take a free rapid coronavirus test twice a week from the 9th April.

Reclaiming our lost freedoms & getting back to normal hinges on us all getting tested regularly.https://t.co/4i53gOmykA

Sky News’ report is worth reading in full.

Stop Press: In the latest episode of the Spectator’s podcast “The Week in 60 Minutes“, Kate Andrews asks: “If the vaccine won’t restore our liberty, what will? When does it end?”
