After zero daily deaths were reported for the first time yesterday, the UK is on the verge of attaining the milestone of three-quarters of adults having their first Covid-19 immunization.

For the first time since last year, no deaths were reported within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19.

According to the latest government data, moreover 39.4 million people have gotten their first dose, accounting for 74.9 percent of adults.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock will hail the NHS's important role in the vaccination rollout in a speech on Wednesday, saying the government "supported lots of horses," investing "at-risk" in various programs.
