No general vaccination planned in UK

Covid-19 vaccination simulation -

All Britons vaccinated against Covid-19 in the more or less near future?

This is fiction, assured the government, which will prefer to limit itself to targeted populations in the event of a possible vaccine.

The Covid-19 vaccination program in the United Kingdom will target the elderly and at-risk professions as a priority, and not the entire population, said the person responsible for the file with the British government.

Appointed in the spring by the government as chair of the coronavirus vaccination task force, Kate Bingham told the

that general vaccination of the population "will not happen".

Minors and certain exempt adults

"We just need to vaccinate everyone at risk," she explained in an interview posted on Sunday night.

“We talk about 'the time it will take to vaccinate the entire population' but this is wrong.

There will be no vaccination for people under the age of 18.

It will be a vaccine for adults only, for people over the age of 50, and particularly for nursing staff, staff in retirement homes and the most vulnerable, ”she said.

The fear of a violent second wave

The United Kingdom passed the threshold of 500,000 cases on Sunday, including more than 42,000 deaths.

Like other European countries, he is experiencing a resurgence of cases which has prompted the authorities to impose new restrictions, making expectations for a vaccine even higher.

The British government has already ordered tens of millions of doses of vaccines from the various programs currently underway, including that led by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, without knowing if they will be successful.
