COVID vaccine UK: What vaccines are there? When will they be ready? What vaccines are being developed? How effective are they? And how exactly do they work?
In what order will we get the coronavirus vaccine?
While the government has said the most vulnerable will receive the vaccine first, further details have not been announced. However, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has recommended a priority order, based on who is at the highest risk of death.
Their order is:
- Older adults in a care home and care home workers
- All those aged 80 and over and health and social care workers, though they may move up the list
- Anyone 75 and over
- People aged 70 and over
- All those aged 65 and over
- High-risk adults under 65
- Moderate-risk adults under 65
- All those aged 60 and over
- All those 55 and over
- All those aged 50 and over
- The rest of the population, with priority yet to be determined.
