Britain began offering coronavirus vaccinations to anyone over 45 on Tuesday after hitting its target of giving at last one dose to everyone over 50 by the middle of April.
Despite the good news, Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned that the U.K. would inevitably see more hospitalization and deaths as it emerges from lockdown. On Monday non-essential shops, hairdressers, gyms, restaurant patios and beer gardens reopened in England.
Days before its self-imposed April 15 deadline, the government said everyone in its top priority groups - over 50s, health care workers and people with serious medical conditions - had been offered a jab, and about 95% of them received one. More than 32 million people, over 60% of the country s adults, have had a first shot and almost 15% of adults have gotten both doses.
