Back to normal after Easter: UK aims to roll out COVID vaccines next month

LONDON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Britain will seek to start
administering a COVID-19 vaccine before Christmas with the bulk
of the rollout at the start of the new year, with life getting
back to normal after Easter, health minister Matt Hancock said
on Monday.

"We hope to be able to start vaccinating next month,"
Hancock told BBC TV after AstraZeneca announced its vaccine
could be up to 90% effective.

"The bulk of the vaccine rollout programme will be in
January, February, March. And we hope that sometime after Easter
things we'll be able to start to get back to normal."
