AstraZeneca-Oxford University SARS-CoV-2 vaccine approved.
Celebrating good news with @HelenSkelton on @bbc5live.
Second vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 virus licenced in the UK.
Now we must, immunise at pace and in record time.
It will take time for the benefits of the vaccines to make a dent in the pandemic.
Continue with all infection control measures post vaccination.
Important to immunise nationally as well as globally, as fast as is possible for maximum benefit to be achieved.
It is too early to start making plans for holidays abroad, especially to countries with high case numbers and low numbers immunised.
