He will appear alongside Susan Hopkins from Public Health England.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam will also speak at the Downing Street briefing.
The press conference will reveal the priority of those to be vaccinated once all over-50s are jabbed.
There have been calls for professions such as police officers and teachers to be given the vaccine next.
The jab list, determined by the JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) places the elderly and care workers at the top of the list.
So far 18.6 million Brits have received their first dose of either the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab or the Pfizer/BioNTech offering.
The number jabbed is 28 per cent of the population.
