In addition, the race undertaken by the British government to vaccinate the maximum population in the shortest time possible, has also favored the pound sterling in its battle against the euro. He vaccination rate has increased to 200,000 daily doses, and is expected to increase with the opening of 50 vaccination centers throughout the country. The goal is to have 13 million Britons vaccinated by mid-February.
