> “Get vaccinated – if not for your own protection, for the protection of others. Only by doing this can we eradicate Covid-19 and the risk of it producing variants.  
>  
> “We succeeded only a few years back with smallpox which was present in Britain and was a killer. Now, the disease has been eradicated worldwide through vaccination.   
>  
> “But this needs everyone or nearly everyone to be vaccinated.”  
>  
> Michael Fabricant MP

Mr Fabricant said the vaccination drive across the country had been a “fantastic achievement”.

> “Around 18 million people have been given a jab since so far in the UK.   
>  
> “Everyone with serious underlying health conditions and unpaid carers along with all adults aged 50, or over, will be offered the vaccination by 15th April.  
>  
> “And Boris Johnson has said that every single adult in the UK will be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of July.  
>  
> “This is a fantastic achievement and I applaud the doctors, nurses, and volunteers who have all worked so hard to achieve this along with those who planned the vaccine purchase all those months ago.”
