Covid Vaccine Deployment Minister Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News on Wednesday morning, “I’m confident that as we begin to deploy and get more sites operational, I talked about the hospitals, the GPs, the community pharmacies and the national vaccination centres, so we will be at over 1,000 sites vaccinating.
“I’m confident you will see, certainly from January 4 to January 11, a real step up. So we’ve done over 1.3m since 8 December, you’re going to see a massive acceleration of that”
