Breaking A single-shot coronavirus vaccine from Johnson & Johnson has been approved for use in the UK. The new vaccine has been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). It is the fist single-dose vaccine to be approved in the UK and the fourth overall after the Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. The news comes as the vaccine rollout continues to gather pace with Matt Hancock announcing this week that 60 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been given in the UK. The UK has ordered 20 million doses of the vaccine, which England’s deputy chief medical officer, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, has previously said could be used for hard-to-reach groups of people, where recalling them for a second jab is not always successful.
