Britain’s success at vaccinating faster than anywhere else in Europe is putting pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to figure out what comes next.

He’s expected to set out details in a statement to Parliament on Monday as part of a "road map” out of lockdown, and some companies in retail and hospitality are already gearing up.
