Boris Johnson announced his target on Monday to vaccinate the most vulnerable in the UK by the middle of February.

He said inoculating almost 14 million in the four priority groups; care home residents and staff, adults over 70, frontline health and social care workers, and everyone who is clinically extremely vulnerable, would allow the government to consider easing restrictions.

Since vaccines began to be rolled out in December, a total of 1.3 million have been administered.
