A record 873,784 vaccinations have been recorded in the latest 24 hour period in the United Kingdom.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:

“Yesterday was a record-breaking day for the vaccine rollout, with 873,784 people receiving a jab.

“A huge thank you to everyone involved and please come forward to get your jab when you are invited to do so.”

The news will be welcomed by many, following concerns from the government over recent days that supplies were likely to fall as we head into April due to production delays and the need to retest over a million doses.

52% of the UK Adult population has now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
