The UK Government say that they’re currently on target to vaccinate 14 million people by mid-February, with the current capacity for two million vaccinations per week. It is hoped that efforts will be amped up through vulnerable groups and tended to the rest of the country throughout the spring to allow for festivals to safely take place this summer.
Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic and boss of events including Reading & Leeds and Download Festival, told
NME: “I feel very positive because I know that it’s possible”.

Scientists believe they have found an inhaler (pictured) that blocks coronavirus from progressing in the lungs
A mass trial of a repurposed Multiple Sclerosis drug that researchers hope will hugely reduce the chances of coronavirus patients becoming seriously ill has begun at a hospital in Hull.
The first patient in the trial of a medicine known as SNG001 received the treatment at Hull Royal Infirmary on Tuesday.
Earlier trials produced promising results with just 13 per cent of patients given it going on to need intensive care treatment compared to 22 per cent who received a placebo.
Patients treated with the drug were also twice as likely to recover after two weeks than those who didn t, according to the research by Southampton University.
From this grew Lee’s Phd: qualitative research in two care homes in southern England, which found that residents with dementia often moved in directly from hospital, without a chance to go home and select possessions. They were frequently excluded from the decision-making process and objects were even removed from their rooms without their knowledge or permission. In the risk-averse atmosphere of residential care, says Lee, few residents had access to functional objects, let alone freedom to use them as they wished. She concluded that a better understanding of “material citizenship” could “support a rights-based approach to dementia care by using functional objects as an enabler to balance protection and empowerment”.
