A coronavirus vaccine developed by drug firm AstraZeneca and Oxford University has been approved for use in Britain, the government announced on Wednesday, paving the way for a mass rollout.
A government spokesman said it has accepted a recommendation from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ‘to authorise Oxford University/AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine for use’, making Britain the first nation to approve the jab.
