Britain launches Moderna vaccine against COVID-19

The availability of the vaccine against COVID-19 of Moderna in Wales has started in the United Kingdom, while in the coming days it is expected to be available in the rest of the country, strengthening the health system after the supply of vaccine doses began to slow down.

The Moderna vaccine is the third to be used in the UK against the new coronavirus disease after AstraZeneca / Oxford University and Pfizer / BioNTech , including a facility in India, as broadcast by AMPE.

“I am delighted to be able to launch the Moderna vaccine in the UK today in West Wales,” said Health Minister Matt Hancock. “Today we are starting the third approved vaccine. “Wherever you live, when you receive the call, get the vaccine,” he added.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson called on citizens to get their vaccine as soon as they are called.

The United Kingdom has vaccinated 31.6 million people with a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine and has given a second dose to 5.5 million people. It will soon have vaccinated half of its total population.

Undersecretary of State Paul Scully told Sky News that the Moderna vaccine, which uses the same messenger mRNA technology as Pfizer / BioNTech but is easier to transport, will reach the rest of the UK in the coming days.

“You listened to the minister in charge of vaccines, Nadim Zahauto talk about the third week of April. “We are already ready to start the second week of April, so we do not have to wait long,” he said.

Israel is the world’s first country to vaccinate its population against COVID-19, followed by the United Arab Emirates, Chile, Britain, the United States, Bahrain, Serbia and Hungary, according to Our World in Data.
