LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Britain's minister in charge of
COVID-19 vaccinations said once everyone in the top priority
groups had been reached, he favoured moving onto groups such as
teachers and the police rather than bringing forward second
doses.
Nadhim Zahawi said a decision had not yet been made on how
to prioritise the use of available doses once the priority
groups, such as elderly and clinically vulnerable people, had
received an initial dose. He added that his comment reflected
only his personal view.
"My own personal view is you want to protect as many people
as quickly as possible so you want to get through the nine
categories and then move towards teachers ... police officers,
shop workers," he told lawmakers on Wednesday.
