Reportedly, as part of a large-scale vaccine distribution program, the UK government has planned to deliver the first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine or Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine to 2 million people within two weeks.

Telegraph reports that if UK pharmaceuticals regulators approve the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine within a few days, a large vaccination center will be set up in a sports stadium or conference hall in the second week of next month.

A high-ranking source from the UK government told Telegraph that approval of the AstraZeneca vaccine could be dropped as early as the 27th.

AstraZeneca submitted full data for emergency use approval on the 21st, and MHRA continued to deliberate on Christmas holidays.

The UK approved the Pfizer vaccine for the first time in the world on the 2nd and entered the official vaccination on the 8th before other Western countries such as the United States, Germany and France.

If the AstraZeneca vaccine is approved, it is expected that the distribution may be easier than the Pfizer vaccine that has already been vaccinated.
