The UK wants to start the first vaccinations against the coronavirus on Tuesday. The government said that the over 80s and employees of the health system as well as the staff and residents of nursing homes had top priority. The vaccine from the Mainz-based company Biontech and its US partner Pfizer should first be available in hospitals before supplies are distributed to doctors’ practices. It is expected that around 800,000 doses of vaccine will be available within the first week.
