More than 50 hospitals across England were designated as covid-19 vaccine hubs, the first stage of what will be a lengthy vaccination campaign.

The first round of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine will be given out across the U.S. starting today (Monday).
The initial shipments contain about 3 million doses.
Each state is given a specific amount based on its population size.
In California, health care workers will be among the first to be vaccinated.
A survey from the Associated Press found that about half of Americans want to get the vaccine as soon as possible.
Another 25% aren’t sure, while the remaining 25% say they won’t.
Do you know anyone personally that has been notified they can get the vaccine as early as this week?
