The media reported that Johnson said in a speech to Parliament this afternoon, British Time, that he had not yet received enough data to determine whether the vaccine can effectively stop the spread, and could not confirm whether the future death rate and hospitalization can be reduced, so in mid-February, if the United Kingdom can reach four vulnerable groups can be vaccinated with the first dose of vaccine, and backward projection of about 3 weeks later, these groups began to develop resistance to the virus If the first dose of the vaccine is received by all four vulnerable groups by mid-February and projected backward about three weeks, these groups will begin to develop resistance to the virus.
Johnson added that the report on the results of the vaccine will be available by mid-February, and the government will be able to formulate a phased opening policy, perhaps earlier, but without increasing the pressure on national health care.
