Britain's next phase of coronavirus vaccines will be administered based on age rather than occupational risk, an advisory group said Friday, sparking anger from police and teachers who said they should get priority. "This is the fastest and simplest way to roll out the jab. Our moral duty is to put saving lives first, and that's what we've done," he said. Professor Wei Shen Lim, a member of the committee, said it would be speedier to move through groups by age, rather than occupational risk. "It's more important to be in the queue and worry less about exactly where you are in the queue," Van Tam said.
