Another COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for use in the UK.
The first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot will be given on Monday, as the number of cases continue to rise in that country.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says this is truly fantastic news and a triumph for British Science.
Reports say the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is easier to store because it does not require freezing temperatures.
