A huge effort has helped the UK provide 14m first doses of Covid vaccines in about two months
In St Albans, GPs took over a former nightclub to provide Covid vaccinations every 20 seconds; in Carnforth, Lancashire, delivering jabs was helped by volunteers from the local Rotary Club; in parts of Surrey and West Sussex a GP federation converted a bus to give inoculations to those proving hard to reach.
The extraordinary effort – the UK has provided 14m first-dose jabs in a little over two months – has become a national mission, with cathedrals, mosques and temples becoming vaccination sites to reach communities around the land. And, after a year of coronavirus failure, it has been a striking success.
