LONDON, Oct 26 — British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said today that a vaccine to tackle Covid-19 was “not there yet” but the government was getting ready to roll out it, with a central expectation for the first half of 2021. “On my central expectation, I would expect the bulk of the roll out to be in the first half of next year,” he said.
