We must live with COVID-19 like the flu in long term, says UK's Johnson

LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - People must learn to live with
the coronavirus just as they do with flu in the long term due to
the availability of a vaccine, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said
on Monday, adding there are no supply issues affecting jabs at
the moment.

"The only reason I'm able to say...we must learn to live
with COVID as we live with flu...in the long term is of course
because we have this vaccination programme and the capability to
evolve our vaccines," he told parliament.
