The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and concluded it is both safe and effective.
With the approval of the vaccine, mass vaccination of Britons against COVID-19 will start next week.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock tweeted on Wednesday that ‘Help is on its way’.
“The MHRA has formally authorised the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for Covid-19.
”The NHS stands ready to start vaccinating early next week. The UK is the first country in the world to have a clinically approved vaccine for supply.”
