Sunday shows round-up: All adults to be offered vaccine by September, says Raab

If there is one area that the government can point to as having had a successful pandemic, it would be the speed at which the UK has been able to rollout the vaccines for Covid-19. The Telegraph has even reported that their Whitehall sources believe that every adult will be able to receive their first jab by the end of June. Andrew Marr put this scenario to the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who despite sticking to the government script, suggested that this target was not completely unfeasible:

DR: We’re making good progress… The entire adult population, we want to have been offered a first jab by September… That’s the roadmap. We think we’ve got the capacity to deliver [that]. Obviously, if It can be done more swiftly than that, then that’s a bonus.
