Prime Minister Boris Johnson's target was for every adult who wanted to a shot to be able to get one by July 19.
So far, 87.8% of adults have received a first shot of COVID-19 vaccine, with the government also meeting a target to give two-thirds of adults two doses of vaccine by Monday. Johnson is proceeding with the full re-opening of the economy despite a fresh surge of cases fuelled by the highly transmissible Delta variant. New infections are running at their highest level since January.
Some scientists have expressed concern about the re-opening given the high case rates, the substantial proportion of the population which is not yet fully vaccinated and the projected increases in hospitalisations and deaths.
But not their 2nd dose. My 3 adult children won't be fully vacc'd till September. We're opening up tomorrow.
Excuse me. What was the number of new cases yesterday? 53000+? Lie flat and let the virus do the picking? NHS is doomed. Every one has a chance. Freedamn!
