Recall that the UK was among the first countries to authorize the use of the Pfizer vaccine.
The directive came when the second wave of the coronavirus led to an upsurge in the country which now puts the death toll at 88,590(based on latest Worldometer Data) and about 3,300,000 confirmed cases.
Apart from the vaccine program, the government had also imposed a lockdown on parts of the kingdom, as a preventive measure.
