Prime minister stresses continued importance of coronavirus restrictions at PMQs
Boris Johnson has warned people not to “get their hopes up” about a very rapid rollout of a newly approved coronavirus vaccine across large parts of the population, urging the public to observe restrictions in the interim.
In a prime minister’s questions dominated by the announcement on Wednesday that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had been authorised for emergency use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority, Johnson began by ruling out compelling people to be vaccinated.
