UK PM Johnson: We have built up considerable wall of immunity in UK

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday that coronavirus vaccines have played a decisive role in breaking the link between infection, death and serious disease in the UK, as reported by Reuters.

"We will follow scientific guidance on hosting soccer games," Johnson added. "In the UK, we have built up a considerable wall of immunity."

Market reaction

These comments don't seem to be having a noticeable impact on market sentiment. As of writing, the UK's FTSE 100 Index was unchanged on the day at 7,122.
