More than 10 million people in the UK have now received two doses of a coronavirus vaccine, government figures show, APA reports citing BBC.

It means nearly one in five of all UK adults have had both vaccines.

Celebrating the "remarkable milestone", Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK's vaccine programme had "already saved thousands of lives".

"I want to thank the brilliant staff and volunteers involved in the rollout, and urge all those who are called to keep coming forward.”

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: "Second doses are crucial to maximising the strength and duration of your protection from Covid-19 and I’m urging everybody eligible to get their jab as soon as possible.“

A total of 43,084,487 million vaccine doses were given between 8 December and 18 April - 32,932,448 million people with their first dose and 10,152,039 million with their second.
