The UK is hopeful of rolling out a coronavirus vaccine 'soon after Christmas'

The UK government is hoping to roll out a coronavirus vaccine at the end of this year.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson this week said there were "some very hopeful signs" of a vaccine, "not least from the Oxford AstraZeneca trials."The UK government hopes that a coronavirus vaccine will be available by December, say reports. If a vaccine is developed, Boris Johnson's government plans to initially offer it to the elderly, the vulnerable, and key workers to reduce the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths significantly. Van-Tam reportedly told MPs that this would make it much harder for young people infected with the virus to pass it on to more at-risk people.

The UK prime minister this week urged MPs to temper their expectations over a virus, warning them that failure to develop a vaccine for Sars shows "it cannot be taken for granted."
