Half of all Britain adults get first vaccine shot -This makes the country the world’s first major economy to hit that milestone
Britain reached that figure after administering a record 660,276 shots a day earlier, Hancock said. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who had AstraZeneca’s vaccination on Friday, tweeted: “Let’s keep going.”
Israel is the leader in vaccinating its population, followed by the United Arab Emirates, Chile, then the United Kingdom — and investors are watching closely to see which economies show the first signs of recovery.
Britain’s government has said it is aiming to give at least one shot to everyone over 50 by mid-April, and to every adult by the end of July.
Over that period, it has plans to ease lockdown restrictions, with shops, pubs and restaurants preparing to re-open next month.
By comparison, more than 20 per cent of the US population has received at least one dose, and less than a 10th of the EU population.
