LONDON, March 17 (Reuters) - Britain is on track to meet a
target to offer first COVID-19 shots to all adults by the end of
July, health minister Matt Hancock said, even though many
under-50s will not receive shots as early as previously expected
due to a supply shortage.
"We're committed to all adults being able to get the jab by
the end of July, and we're on track to deliver on that
commitment," Hancock told a media conference on Wednesday.
"The future forecasts are always lumpy, and sometimes they
go up, and sometimes they go down, but we've made these public
commitments, and I'm absolutely delighted with the team, because
we're on track to meet them."
