> Those over 20 are due to get their first dose by the end of July.

What do you mean by due?

Ministers have said this will happen but there has not been much else backing this up AFAIK. There was a vaccine roll-out plan from Jan which merely mentioned all adults by Autumn. I haven't heard of an official, detailed plan regarding the healthy under-50s.

Matt Hancock said the UK is on track to vaccinate all adults by 31 July.

Yes I acknowledged this ( in the second of just two paragraphs).

I’m looking for details. Is it going to be wide open? Or in age brackets? Etc. An actual rollout plan by the organisations delivering it

I thought I was being pretty clear in what I’m saying should exist: a plan by the organisations involved in the delivery of the vaccine. The BBC is not one of those organisations or a Government department.

That article is very light on detail for the under 50s, which is exactly my point. It sources the covid delivery plan which hasn’t been updated since Jan.
