UK orders 114m extra vaccine doses – enough to keep country supplied with booster shots for two more years. The extra Moderna and Pfizer jabs will be delivered in 2022 and 2023, giving the UK a steady supply for the next two years.
This is on top of the 35million additional doses of Pfizer/BioNTech jabs ordered in August for delivery in the second half of next year, and the 60million Novavax and 7.5million GSK/Sanofi doses expected in 2022
The Department of Health said they ‘accelerated’ the signing of the new contracts in light of the newly discovered Omicron strain.
