off British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hailed a significant milestone on Sunday as the UK hit its initial target to deliver 15 million first doses of covert 19 vaccinations after becoming the first country in the world to approve a vaccine.

The British government began its ambitious program in early December with the aim to offer a shot toe everyone in its top four priority groups, including all care home residents on Frontline Healthcare workers.

Today we have reached a significant milestone in the United Kingdom's national vaccination program.

It has Bean a truly national UK wide effort we've done it together on.

I want to thank each and every person who has helped make it happen.

You could be incredibly proud of the part you've played.

Thanks also to everyone who has had a jab so far, giving protection not just yourself but also to your fellow citizens into the NHS.

The vaccine program is seen as one of the few successes in the UK government's handling of a pandemic that's left the country with one of the biggest death tolls in the world.

There will undoubtedly be bumps in the road.

After all we've achieved, I know we can go forward with great confidence.

 The rapid progress is fueling calls for the authorities to start relaxing tight lock down measures in force across the UK.
