The first doses of AstraZeneca’s New Crown vaccine were administered in the UK on Monday (January 4, 2021). The AstraZeneca New Crown vaccine is cheaper and easier to transport than Pfizer’s vaccine because it does not need to be kept at very low temperatures. Many medical professionals in the U.K. and the U.S. have already received Pfizer’s vaccine.
In addition to the United Kingdom, India also approved the use of AstraZeneca New Crown vaccine for emergencies on Sunday.
The launch of the AstraZeneca New Crown vaccine comes after a rise in New Crown cases in the U.K., particularly with the emergence of new viral variants. Scientists say the virus variants are more infectious.
