The UK has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, becoming the first country to approve a vaccine for the virus, with 800,000 vaccines doses set to arrive soon.
As the vaccines will be stored in hospitals, they are likely to be used there initially, before staff and residents of elderly care homes are prioritised first.
While the vaccine will not be compulsory, it will be free and accessible from hospitals, specialised vaccination clinics and community GPs and pharmacists.
