Britain expects to start rolling out the Pfizer vaccine just before Christmas if it is declared safe and effective, Matt Hancock saidMatt Hancock today claimed Britain is 'working very closely' with Pfizer to roll out the drug giant's breakthrough Covid vaccine from the start of December. So far, almost 318,000 people have indicated their willingness to take part in clinical studies by signing up to the NHS vaccine research registry. 'The Pfizer vaccine in particular is quite challenging because it has to be stored at minus 80 degrees and then transported around,' she told BBC Breakfast.
