Taking to Twitter on Thursday, December 8, Matt Hancock, who came third in the popular reality show I’m a Celebrity, said: “Two years ago today, the UK became the first country in the world to roll out a clinically authorised Covid-19 vaccine.”
“151,248,820 vaccines later, we have learnt to live with Covid,” he added.
People reacted to the tweet from the ex-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
One person said: “TBF this is something the UK did really well & ahead of every other country. Thanks for all your hard work.”
