PM vows to use ‘every second’ of lockdown to vaccinate vulnerable as figures show 1m people in England have Covid
Boris Johnson has delivered a cautious message on the government’s plan for England to emerge from lockdown in mid-February, saying the timetable was subject to “lots of caveats, lot of ifs”.
At a Downing Street press conference where Johnson said the country had vaccinated almost a quarter of over-80s, both the prime minister and his scientific and medical advisers stressed the vaccine did not automatically spell a return to normal life by the spring.
