Everyone in the UK could get a coronavirus vaccination by Easter as the government plans a mass roll out over just three months.
Scientists in Oxford who are working on the vaccine are anticipating it will be approved by early next year. It's believed that once the process is under way, it could take six months to distribute the vaccine, but that the timeline could be even quicker than that, according to government sources.
Rules are being drawn up to allow a much wider group of healthcare staff to give the jabs, and training will begin within weeks.
Drive-through vaccination centres are being planned to cope with the huge logistical challenge of giving vaccines to tens of millions of people.
