A BRADFORD doctor has slammed those who oppose the coronavirus vaccine, saying he will be happy to have his.
Dr Amir Khan says news of the Pfizer vaccine is a ‘light at the end of a very dark tunnel’, adding the more people have the vaccine, the quicker normality can return.
He tweeted: “Light at the end of a very dark tunnel, finally.
“Please don’t buy into any of the antivax nonsense. This has gone through rigorous safety tests and I will be happy to have mine.
“The more people that get vaccinated, the quicker normality can return.”
The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech, paving the way for vaccination to start next week.
The jab has been shown in studies to be 95 per cent effective and works in all age groups.
The UK has ordered 40 million doses of the vaccine, enough to vaccinate 20m people with two doses, given 21 days apart.
