– The UK government is opening a vaccine center that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7) to rush vaccination against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Local media such as the BBC and Sky News reported on the 13th (local time) that Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed this position by attending the’Prime Minister’s Questions’ in the House of Representatives that day.

Prime Minister Johnson said, “We will open as soon as possible,” when the Labor Party leader Kier Starmer asked about the timing of the opening of the ’24 Hour Vaccine Center’ for the general public.

He said that 233 large hospitals, 1,000 regional health doctors (GP) hospitals, 200 pharmacies, and 50 large-scale vaccine centers have been established in the UK for the vaccine vaccination of Corona 19. “The UK is vaccinating more vaccinations than any other country in Europe. (Vaccination) is progressing very quickly,” he said. “Currently, the supply (shortage) of vaccines is a limiting factor.”

Meanwhile, the supply of the Corona 19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca together with Oxford University in the UK will also continue to expand.

“We have supplied 1.1 million doses so far, and we are continuing to expand the volume,” said Tom Keith Roch, the representative of AstraZeneca UK, at the House Committee. “The goal of supplying 2 million doses per week is imminent.”
