In a major milestone, more than 15million of the most vulnerable Britons have been fully vaccinated against Covid. The over-70s and the clinically vulnerable have had a second jab, offering maximum immunity from the virus, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said last night. Boris Johnson thanked everyone who had come forward to get their jabs, tweeting: ‘15million people across our United Kingdom have received two doses of a Covid vaccine. He added: ‘That’s the 15million people who are most vulnerable to Covid across the country. Meanwhile, random testing by the Office for National Statistics has found infections ‘approaching zero’ among over-70s thanks to the vaccine drive.
