Boris stated that Britain are helping to vaccinate the world with 100 million doses for developing countries by the next June, noting that it is difficult to predict the path of the virus, which has led them to create a Plan B for the protection of the NHS if necessary.
He cautioned that public of the risk of the virus, and assured that the virus can be fought off. He also encouraged anyone who has yet to have a vaccine to do so.
