UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was hospitalised last year with a severe bout of Covid-19, has received his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine against the virus.
The Prime Minister has therefore joined over 26 million people in the UK who have received their first dose.

The Prime Minister got his vaccine at the end of a week in which the government admitted the UK’s supply of jabs is likely to be “tighter” next month, amid delays to supplies from India and a need to retest more than one-and-a-half million doses.
