LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Britain's health secretary said
that new research meant that there was a high degree of
confidence that the Oxford/ AstraZeneca vaccine works
for all ages, after some countries said they would not give it
to older age groups.
"We have a high degree of confidence that this vaccine works
for all ages," Matt Hancock told the BBC on Wednesday.
Britain is working on tightening controls at its borders to
stop new variants of COVID-19 entering the country, he said,
with details of a plan to make some arrivals quarantine in
hotels due to be set out shortly, he added.
