The head of the Oxford Vaccine Group has said the rollout of the new Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is a "proud moment".
Professor Andrew Pollard, who was the third person in the country to receive the new vaccine, said it gives the UK some optimism during "such a dark moment".
He said the new variant should be okay with the vaccine, but added that "we cannot be complacent".
