Matt Hancock has said the NHS could start vaccinating people against coronavirus “next month”.
Speaking at the Downing Street press conference on Friday, the health secretary said the government had “formally” asked the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to assess the suitability of the Pfizer vaccine.
“If the regulator approves a vaccine, we will be ready to start the vaccination next month, with the bulk of the rollout in the new year,” he said.
