The World Health Organization's Special Envoy on COVID-19 has announced on the UK to give vaccines to different countries once preference groups have been treated. "I think we should," Dr. David Nabarro, who is British, said on Sunday when asked over what should appear after those most at risk and the over-50s had been given shot. "It's really a problem of what makes sense economically, what makes sense for the community, and how we'll want to be remembered in 10 or 20 years' time. Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said that at one stage on Saturday, health service workers were throwing jabs at a rate of almost 1,000 a minute. The UK is aiming to give all over-70s and frontline health care operators their first dose by February 15. EU states receive the first AstraZeneca doses. While the UK reflects a possible vaccine surplus, many people in Europe are questioning when they are working on getting their first doses. On Sunday, Spain became the latest country to confirm it had received its first doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford University COVID-19 vaccine for distribution starting Monday. People in Bulgaria began receiving their first jabs after the country received 28,800 doses on Saturday. The Balkan country of seven million bets slowly on the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is relatively common and thoughtfully to store and use. Several other EU states — France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic — felt their first shipments on Saturday.
