Britain is marking a year since the first person in the world was given a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine outside of clinical trials. On 8 December, 2020, Margaret Keenan, a 90-year-old grandmother, became the first person to get the shot following its clinical approval. Britain has now given nearly 120 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine, either as first doses, second doses or as boosters.
A rebound in market sentiment continued in early European trading on Wednesday, with world shares set for their biggest two-day jump since November last year as investors became less concerned about the Omicron variant. Shares plunged recently when the discovery of the new COVID-19 variant spooked investors. But sentiment has rebounded sharply this week in the absence of indications that Omicron would derail the economic recovery.
