BORIS Johnson has announced that more than four MILLION Brits have now had Covid vaccine - including half of over-80s and care home residents.

The PM unveiled the bumper new stats as ministers geared the country up for phase two of the jabs rollout, which will see it offered to all over 70s.

Speaking during a visit to the OxfordBiomedica factory, he said: "We've done about four million people in this country which is obviously encouraging.

"We've now down more than half of the over 80s, half of the people in care homes, the elderly residents of care homes.

"Those groups remain a top priority but it's right that as more vaccine comes on stream to get it into the arms of the other groups."

The PM said there would be no "Open Sesame" moment next month even though the vaccine gramme is "going very well", but vowed things will be "very different by Spring".

He added: "I understand completely that people want to get back to normal as fast as we possibly can.

"It does depend on things going well, it depends on the vaccination program going well, it depends on there being no new variants that throw our plans out.
