UK gets on with fast-paced vaccination roll-out, but easing of lockdowns may cause delay in achieving targets

London

BRITAIN'S vaccination roll-out continues at a hectic pace, but there are fears that the government's initial targets won't be reached as planned, with lockdowns set to be relaxed. The worry is that a third wave of Covid-19 infections and permutations will spread from Europe.

The strategy is to vaccinate as many people as possible and, via a steady easing of lockdowns, return the nation towards normality and a stronger economy.
