The United Kingdom is one of the first Western countries to approve the corona vaccine. The country is set to approve the corona vaccine next week.

Vaccines from Pfizer and their partner BioNtech may be delivered within hours of approval. White Hall officials told the Financial Times.

The first vaccination will start on December 6, officials said. The United Kingdom has already ordered 4 crore doses of the vaccine for two doses.

In early November, vaccine companies announced that their vaccines were 95 percent effective in fighting the corona virus.

The UK Medicines and Health Care Product Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have the power to temporarily approve vaccines in emergencies.

Meanwhile, the UK government on Friday requested a re-examination of the vaccine discovered by Oxford University and AstraZeneca.

At the beginning of the immunization program, doctors, nurses, health workers, the elderly, ie those over the age of 80 and those at the highest risk of death will be included.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock recently said the NHS is ready to use the vaccine safely as soon as it is approved.

Last week, Pfizer and its affiliates applied for urgent approval of the BioNtech coronavirus vaccine. So that it can be delivered worldwide as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, vaccinations will also begin in the United States within 24 hours of vaccination approval.
