Earlier today Simon Harris mentioned that it was "an important day. A milestone in this painful #Covid19 story. But it is crucial that we keep each other safe & well as this vaccine programme gets under way. It needs time. Our collective effort now: keep each other alive & well to get the vaccine. Help is on the way".
