Health Secretary Sajid Javid called the report “phenomenal” and said it is a “testament to the UK’s vaccination program.”

The National Health Service had planned COVID-19 vaccinations for 12- to 15-year-olds from the first week children return to school in September, but Britain's Health Department says no decision has yet been made on vaccinating that age group and it is inaccurate to suggest otherwise.
