Boris Johnson reveals 2.4million Brits have now got Covid jab as programme ramps up

BORIS Johnson has revealed today that 2.4million Brits have now got their first Covid jab – as the programme massively ramps up this week.

It means around one million people have got the jab in the last week alone – and hundreds of thousands every day.

Hundreds of thousands more people have got the Covid vaccine, the PM has said today

Matt Hancock said on Sunday the figure stood at around 2million.

It comes as seven super vaccination centres opened across Britain today – to fulfil the PM’s aim of doing 200,000 a day by Friday.

The PM visited one in Bristol to see how the rollout was working.

600,000 Brits who live less than a 45 minute drive away will be written to, asking them to book a slot.
