Hancock: Covid vaccine is triumph for ‘humanity’
The health secretary has delivered a statement to the House of Commons following the approval of Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for use in the UK.
Matt Hancock told MPs: “Today is a triumph for all those who believe in science; a triumph for ingenuity; a triumph for humanity”.
Mr Hancock confirmed that the NHS would be able to start vaccinating from “early next week”.
