LONDON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - The roll-out of the
AstraZeneca-Oxford University Covid-19 vaccine from Monday was a
"triumph of British science" that would be the only long-term
way out of the pandemic, British Health Secretary Matt Hancock
said.
"We obviously have the very positive news this morning of
the Oxford vaccine starting to be rolled out," he told Sky News
on Monday. "That's a triumph of British science that we've
managed to get were we are."
Hancock said Britain had already delivered 1 million shots
of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which was more than the rest of
Europe combined.
