[perugu_vada]

Minister Nadhim Zahawi, who is in charge of vaccine rollout, tweeted 137,897 people had been given their first doses of the Pfizer / BioNTech jab between 8 and 15 December.

He described it as a "really good start" for the programme.

The government wants to offer everyone over 50 and younger adults with health conditions a vaccine - about 25 million people.

During the first week, more than 70 hospitals took part in the vaccination programme - with another 10 starting this week.

Mr Zahawi said the figures were provisional and from next week there would be published data available.

The breakdown for individual nations showed:

• 108,000 vaccinated in England
• 7,897 in Wales
• 4,000 in Northern Ireland
• 18,000 in Scotland

"Transparency is vital as we deliver vaccines across the UK," Mr Zahawi added.
