U.K.'s Covid-19 Vaccine Program to Test Its National Health Service

 With a vaccine coming out in the United Kingdom, the country hopes to inoculate everyone in the country over 50 years old in only a few months. As such a lofty goal is in place, the state-run health service has appealed for thousands of volunteers to train as vaccinators and support staff. They have been working on this plan for sometime and have even changed the law to allow student doctors, physiotherapists, and dental workers to administer the vaccine. They have even appealed to retired doctors and nurses to join their effort in getting people vaccinated. The United Kingdom will be the first test run for vaccination in the world.
