Boris Johnson put a successful vaccine roll-out at the heart of his lockdown-easing plan, which he unveiled yesterday. A total of 18.2million Covid vaccine doses have been given out so far, with 17.7million having received their first jab. 'And, while the Government has made huge progress in accelerating the vaccine rollout, there's no excuse for this variability. 'The virus doesn't rest, the virus doesn't sleep, the virus doesn't stop at 6pm on a Friday and neither should the vaccine roll-out.'
