Professor Chris Whitty said normality will return in months not years as the UK ramped up its mass vaccination programme today.
England’s Chief Medical Officer said he was confident we can go back to life as it was before at some point - although warned we are quite a long way from that now .
As vaccine suber-hubs open across the country today, Whitty said it would eventually be possible to lift restrictions in stages.
However, he also warned that the next few months could be the worst of the pandemic.
