The 'majority' of vulnerable people in the UK will be vaccinated throughout January and February, the government has said, as authorities prepare to rollout the first available doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab.

Around 25 million people are covered by the 10 priority categories set out by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

Under this guidance, the first vaccine supplies will be sent to care home staff and residents, NHS frontline workers and people aged 80 and over – around six million people.

The rest of the priority list is made up of those aged between 50 and 80, extremely vulnerable individuals and all people aged 16 to 64 with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of mortality.

If sufficient vaccination can be achieved across these groups, 99 per cent of Covid-19 deaths will be prevented, according to JCVI.

The first round of vaccine doses is due to be administered to the general public tomorrow.

Roughly 800,000 doses of the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, which has been shown to be 95 per cent effective in preventing disease, are to be distributed across the UK throughout next week.

It is hoped that up to five million doses – enough to vaccinate 2.5 million Britons – will eventually be made available by the end of the year, though the government has been reluctant to provide a definitive number.

The announcement comes as the UK's official coronavirus death toll rose by 189, meaning 61,434 people have now died within 28 days of testing positive for the virus. A further 14,718 new cases were also reported yesterday, with the total number of identified infections nearing 1.75 million.

The government's spokesperson stressed that the vaccines developed by Moderna and Oxford University were still being assessed by regulators, which could boost the UK's supplies in the coming weeks.

In England, 50 hospitals have been chosen to serve as hubs for administering the Pfizer-BioNTech jab, though doses have already been transported to all four nations of the UK.

With limited quantities initially available, elderly people who are already attending hospital as an outpatient, as well as those who are being discharged after a hospital stay, will be among the first to receive the jab.

Should the failure to agree a trade deal with the European Union complicate the delivery of doses from the continent, supplies could be airlifted to the UK by the military, according to James Cleverly, a junior foreign office minister.

Transport between Britain and mainland Europe is likely to be severely disrupted if a deal with the EU is not agreed before transitional arrangements expire at the end of the year.

But Mr Cleverly said the UK's vaccine supplies would get through whatever the circumstances.

'We have extensive plans in place to ensure the protection of our vaccines, that is absolutely the priority product,' he said on Monday.

'We've looked at the use of non-commercial flights, we have border arrangements in place.'

He said the military could be used and an airlift was included in plans 'amongst other things'.

Downing Street did not deny that RAF flights could be used to transport the vaccine over from the continent if there were problems at ports caused by a no-deal Brexit.

The PM's spokesperson would not comment on specific plans for 'security reasons', but added that 'the military will have a role to play in what's been an enormous logistical challenge and I'm sure they will continue to do so as we move forward'.

Shadow armed forces minister Stephen Morgan separately warned that the armed forces 'are already stretched' as he called upon the government to ensure these services are kept well-sourced during the nationwide rollout.

Defence minister James Heappey said there are 2,600 army personnel 'deployed right now'.

'The winter preparedness package is 13,500 people … and we're confident that in generating that package, we have not in any way damaged the defence's ability to prepare for operations that are currently required, or indeed are required within the next six months or (more),' he told the House of Commons.

Meanwhile, confirmation has been provided by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) that doses will be delivered directly into care homes, after initial concerns that elderly residents would have to be transported to vaccination sites to receive their jabs.

The government admitted last week that the nationwide rollout of the Pfizer vaccine poses a 'mammoth logistical operation' owing to the freezing temperature at which it must be maintained, with supplies transported in 975-dose batches.

Care homes typically have dozens of residents: none have nearly a thousand. This means that if a batch is delivered to a care home then there would be a potential waste of precious vaccine stock.

However, the MHRA has now approved a method for breaking up these batches of doses into smaller quantities, allowing them to be transported into separate homes without fear of waste.

'Regulatory approvals required to proceed with the splitting up of packs have been put in place,' a spokesperson for the MHRA told The Independent. 'We are working with NHS and their assemblers to help support them to implement the processes and training they need to have in place to meet our conditions.'

Companies licensed to assemble vaccine packs and some NHS hospitals with the appropriate facilities will break down the batches for shipment to care homes.

They have to do this in 2-8C cold rooms and then repack the supplies into refrigerated carriers that are then sent out to care homes.

The clock starts ticking as soon as the assemblers thaw the vials, the MHRA said. They have 12 hours to complete the 'pack down', label the boxes and get the vials to the mobile teams and into care homes.

Stay alert to stop coronavirus spreading - here is the latest government guidance. If you think you have the virus, don't go to the GP or hospital, stay indoors and get advice online. Only call NHS 111 if you cannot cope with your symptoms at home; your condition gets worse; or your symptoms do not get better after seven days. In parts of Wales where 111 isn't available, call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47. In Scotland anyone with symptoms is advised to self-isolate for seven days. In Northern Ireland, call your GP.

'...if I were forced to choose the best lighting for residential overall, it would have to be incandescent. I feel that we as humans have had a deep connection to flame for many thousands of years. It's almost like it's in our DNA. It's interesting that as time moves on, people are still drawn to sitting around the camp fire, a fireplace, even a barbecue. Think of a Yule log. It's just that this particular quality of light is ingrained in us. You can even get a screen saver of log flames. Incandescents with their glowing filaments are a form of flame and are thus an extension of this inborn affinity that we have for fire.'

'I've tried the new CFLs, and they are a genuine improvement—they don't flicker perceptibly, or buzz, or make your skin look green. There is a difference, and I'd be in favor of replacing all current fluorescent bulbs with CFLs. But even CFLs glare and blare—they don't have that inimitable incandescent glow. So don't let them take lamplight away. Don't let them ban beauty.
'Don't get me wrong, this is not a plea for Ye Olde Times, for gaslight and quill pens. It's just a plea not to take for granted the way we illuminate our world. Not all change is improvement. Why do I put such a premium on incandescence? For one thing, I am a bit romantic about it. A lamp fitted with an incandescent bulb and dim translucent shades casts a lovely, painterly glow on human faces, while the light of fluorescents recalls a meat locker.
'Why do you think there is such artistry to so many lampshades? They are the lingerie of light.
'But the appeal of incandescence is not just a matter of romance. I suspect there are also answers to be found in the physics and linguistics of incandescence.
'I'd speculate that it has something to do with the different ways light is created by incandescents and fluorescents. Incandescent light is created by heat, by the way an electric current turns a thin metal filament (usually tungsten) red then white hot in a transparent or translucent globe filled with an inert gas that prevents the filament from burning up, allowing it to give off a steady glow. (That explains the warmth: The fact that incandescence emanates from heat creates warmth, distinguishes it from the cold creepiness of fluorescence.)
'Fluorescent light bulbs, on the other hand, are coated inside with chemical material that lights up as energy reaches the tubes. (It's a bit more complicated than this, but that's the general idea.) Fluorescents sometimes appear to flicker because alternating current brings that energy to the bulbs in pulses, rather than steadily. In incandescents, the hot filament stays hot—and therefore bright—despite alternations in current; it can't cool fast enough to dim or flicker.
'The new CFLs pulse faster than their ancestors, so the flickering is less perceptible, but at some level, it's still there. CFL manufacturers may be right that the new bulbs are an improvement, but there is still something discontinuous, digital, something chillingly one-and-zero about fluorescence, while incandescent lights offer the reassurance of continuity rather than an alternation of being and nothingness.'

'Not only are the quantities of light of CFL 'equivalents' not equal to those of the planned replaced incandescents but also the quality of the light greatly differs. This is due to the fact that the spectrum of the incandescent is a continuous one, i.e. has energy in all wavelengths of the visible electromagnetic spectrum while the spectrum of the CFLs, like all discharge lamps is a discontinuous one, i.e., depending on the composition of the phosphor coating of the tubes will present a lack of or a deficiency in energy at certain wavelengths of the visible spectrum.

'This characteristic is not immediately visible to the human eye until the emitted light falls on a surface or an object: the energy in each different wavelength corresponds to a colour perceived by the human visual system. If that colour does not exist in the light, its corresponding pigment in materials cannot be perceived by the eye; if the energy in a specific wavelength is deficient, the corresponding pigment in materials will be perceived as dead, washed-out and distorted. (...)
'That means that where colour perception is important, i.e. everywhere the human being lives and spends time, the replacement of incandescents by CFLs is going to inevitably create dull looking spaces, distort colours of architectural finishes (stone, marble, timber, paint, stucco etc.), of furnishings – curtains, carpets, upholstery, furniture finishes, artwork etc.), warp the colour of skin (people are continuously going to look bad/sick in their mirrors as well as in the eyes of their partners).
'Incandescent lamps are close to theoretical 'point sources' which allow for the design of precise optical systems around them to direct the light in an accurate manner. This permits the creation of accent lighting, a means to create visual interest and drama in spaces. CFLs are diffuse light sources and no engineering will truly make a diffuse light source into a 'point-source'. Gone is accent lighting!'
