UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday the COVID-19 vaccine that's been developed in the UK could be available in just a few weeks. He was speaking in Wrexham in north Wales during a visit to a laboratory where the vaccine - developed by Oxford University and the drug firm AstraZeneca - is to be made. He told staff from the pharmaceutical company Wockhardt that its laboratory had "incredible capacity" to produce up to 350 million doses per year. He said the roll-out of the vaccine would coincide with mass testing. This twin approach, Johnson said, was aimed at reducing the spread of the virus and opening up the economy.
