The UK vaccination campaign is in full swing, with jabs now accessible to pretty much everyone, from the elderly to young people. The government – which managed to get the country out of the pandemic rut it seemed to be stuck in at the beginning of winter – recently stated on its website that vaccines had currently saved the life of around 10,400 older Britons. With the vaccine slowing the spread and preventing new infections, it is likely that this figure is an underestimate. The British can now get ready for a less socially distant summer than last year!
