Boris Johnson has said there is no need for people to worry about a shortage of the Pfizer vaccine for a second dosage.
The Prime Minister - speaking at a Downing Street press briefing, said April would be "the second dose month".
He said: “There isn’t any need to worry about shortage of Pfizer for the second dose as far as we can see at the moment.
“We’re going to continue to roll that out and supply that, and, as I said, April is going to be the second dose month.
“It’s very important that everybody gets their second dose.”
Mr Johnson said the relaxation of lockdown restrictions in England from Monday would be “prized” by people but emphasised the need for a “cautious” approach along the road map.
He said: “The whole point about the road map and the timescale that we have got is that it gives us a chance to evaluate the data as we go forward.”
Chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said next week would be the earliest at which the impact of reopening schools would be assessed.
