To protect against new outbreaks of the second wave, the UK authorities hope to vaccinate all citizens over 50 by the spring. To date, the number of those who received the vaccine has already exceeded 1 million.

All UK residents over 50 can be vaccinated by spring next year, of course, if they express such a desire. A large-scale vaccination campaign for residents of Foggy Albion started in the second half of December, and more than 1 million people have already passed through it. At the peak of the vaccine campaign, 2 million Britons are expected to receive the vaccine each week, helping to curb the pandemic that is setting new sad records.. For example, more than 41,000 cases were registered in the country yesterday per day - this is the largest figure in one day since the start of the pandemic..

In this regard, different regions of the UK have different restrictions, including the toughest in London due to a surge caused by a mutated strain of coronavirus.. Doctors are actively urging people not to participate in any large-scale New Year's parties, as crowds of fans to celebrate the holiday can lead to a new surge.

However, many healthcare facilities are already showing signs of chaos as there are not enough staff to cope with the rise in hospitalizations..

All persons over 50 years old are classified as vulnerable patients, according to experts from the UK, since in this age category the likelihood of a more severe course of coronavirus and death from it increases sharply. That is why this group is a priority, as well as all Britons aged 16 to 64 who have any chronic diseases, writes The Daily Mail.
