The UK has approved a coronavirus vaccine. British senior citizens and residents of care homes will be first to be inoculated with the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
The British government has assured the public the vaccine is safe, having been through rigorous clinical trials with the results analysed by the national medicine regulator. 800,000 doses will be distributed to vulnerable people as soon as next week, while the majority of the population will be vaccinated in the new year.
Russia and China have already approved vaccines, but without large-scale testing.
This is a breaking story and will be updated as we learn more.
