a new chief resident on the line invites british prime minister boris johnson to brussels for last ditch talks to end the deadlock. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program the united kingdom has administered the world's 1st clinically tested and fully approved covert 19 vaccine margaret kanan a 90 year old grandmother was a knock elated at a hospital in coventry marking the start of the country's max mass vaccination program the today's vaccine developed by german firm violent attack in partnership with us pharmaceutical giant pfizer is the fastest fully certified human immunization ever brought to market. well let's go straight to london where data charlotte tells them pill is standing by charlotte's good to see you this is

a moment a lot of people we've all been waiting for let's face it what's going to happen next. well i think 1st rebecca we need to take a moment just to absorb those historic pictures that have been coming out of the u.k. today margaret kena 90 years old she is the 1st person to receive the vaccine outside of clinical trials a lot of government figures here in the u.k. of figures from the national health service here saying they're feeling extremely emotional this morning as those pictures roll in margaret herself turns 91 next week she says the best birthday present she could hope for she said that she should be able to see family now she's had this vaccine and really that is what this is all about isn't this is about getting us back to some form of normality but the government has been keen to stress that this will be a marathon and not a sprint that normal that we're all hoping for is still some way away after all

this vaccine rollout is going to be phased the 1st to receive it will be over 18 people who are likely to have hospital appointment who already you can come into the hearts 50 homes across england like the one just behind me to receive their vaccine over the coming weeks from either h s workers and care home workers as well also in line the most though is certainly going to be the new year when they'll receive the vaccine it really is going to be a long journey but of course the whole world as you said is watching this rollout as other countries consider approving this vaccine they're looking to see not just how the u.k. does this the just to keep it also how it wins over hearts and minds we've spoken to a lot of people on the streets about how they're feeling take a look at my report. this is a moment the whole world's been waiting for the u.k. is the 1st to roll out the bio tech finds a covert 19 vaccine it's

a momentous moment for a puppy nation with the highest death toll in europe and office a window of hope for the. very very sadly lost many residents of those care homes who died from co there's been a huge really challenging and difficult year and all the time this promise and this hope of a vaccine has been so it's very exciting to the point where feels like we might be able to make a really positive step or with the help of the box in. the u.k. health service is calling this the biggest immunization program in its history 1st in line for the vaccine will be people over 80 as well as care home staff and frontline health care workers but this rollout poses major just tickle challenges this vaccine needs to be stored at around minus 70 degrees celsius and means carefully meaning in england it will at 1st only be administered from 50 specific

hospital hubs. but the majority of the public hear back the nation's at sites like this hospital a still a way off but her thirty's in the u.k. the messaging surrounding the start of this rollout could not be more important after all approving the vaccine is one thing actually encouraging people to take it is quite another. as the 1st in the wall to water rise the vaccine the u.k. is dependent on public trust and enthusiasm isn't universal risk is it was a long time to say thanks to i would take it. because the benefits outweigh the risks seems sensible thing to do yet and it's the only way we're going to add to the pandemic i think is very very fast i was come out. far trust it and say. and survive see here. for me that every session thank you

for your truth on facebook uptake of the vaccine will be key to its success and authorities are being. vies to find creative ways to address public concern and tackle misinformation there's some speculation the queen may even reveal she's had the vaccine to beat confidence it is extremely important are these people get the vaccine so we need to find a way how to communicate it to them and how to in a way isolate them from these damaging examples of misinformation that they seeing on social media and i think it is the role for the health providers it's a role for the community leaders to actually go out and try to explain to them what they seeing as social media is actually not always the truth. the eyes of the world are on the u.k. this week with governments keen to see not just how it tackles the logistical challenges but how it sells this vaccine to a public being asked to keep pace with science. huge

logistical challenges as you mentioned there in the report not least of which that the vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius how has the u.k. sold these challenges of distributing the shops. well as a 1st step these vaccines are going to be distributed from hubs like this one just behind me because of those that just challenges not just the temperature which needs to be kept for the also difficulties in trans transporting it's there are a lot of things that need to be kept in mind that it is the hospital hubs that make the most sense at this stage fots the health minister here in the u.k. has said he does want to see your way to try and get it out of these holes so hard into vaccination centers for example and crucially into care homes it has been recommended that those in calves those most vulnerable those who have suffered so much this year should be the 1st to receive the vaccination they they will have to wait a little longer until the logistics of figured out find out exactly how they can

bring how authorities here can bring the vaccine to them now another challenge of course polls showing that one 3rd of the population in the u.k. worry about the safety of the vaccine and don't want to take it what's the government going to do to try and win people over. well there's already talk of a big p.r. campaign to try and get people to take this vaccine the trouble is that you do have anti back to binion's like the one that you heard in that report they're becoming more mainstream at the moment this because this is a vaccine that could at some point affect all of this is not just about a role as you usually see for young children this is every single one of us at some point that might be ours whether or not they want to take the vaccine is the conversation that the whole world will be having so here in the u.k. yes the p.r. campaigns being considered a number of all the celebrities here you might not know they were back to some of the more famous in the u.k. than they are around the world but they've stepped up to say that they are willing

to take the vaccine to big conference and the queen as well there's been a lot of speculation about whether she and her husband she of course is over 80 very much so whether she will take the vaccine too just to show the public that they can do it as well. speaking to us from london thanks very much. and let's take a look now at some of the other latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic. kovac 19 infections in germany is still trending upward despite the partial lockdown german chancellor angela merkel is pushing for a decision on new tougher restrictions before the christmas holiday period the united nations children's agency unicef warns that around 320000000 children hard hit by large scale school closes the agency says schools provide a vital system of support food and safety for children worldwide and top u.s. disease expert dr anthony found she has warned for one of another surge in coated cases after christmas this comes as californians endure
