Covid: Boris Johnson welcomes 5m people being fully vaccinated - BBC News
PM urges everyone to take up a second dose when offered as full vaccinations pass the 5m mark.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock describes the UK's vaccination programme as "spectacular" after the news that more than five million people have received a second dose.

It means nearly one in 10 adults in the UK has now received both jabs.

"This is vital so everyone can get the strongest possible protection against Covid-19 as we progress along the road to freedom, allowing us to reclaim the things we love," he says.

The Department of Health says the UK remains on track to achieve the prime minister's target of offering a first dose to those aged 50 and over by mid-April, as well as all adults by the end of July.

Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi says: "Vaccines are an incredibly important part of our route out of lockdown and this pandemic, and it's vital people take advantage of the protection they provide."
