PUBLISHED SUN, NOV 29 20202:23 AM EST
The new deal came a day after Prime Minister Boris Johnson named Nadhim Zahawi, a junior business minister,
to be minister responsible for the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines.
Britain now has access to enough doses of Moderna’s vaccine candidate for around 3.5 million people.
Overall, it has access to 357 million doses of vaccines from seven developers, according to government statement.
Britain has also ordered 40 million doses of a vaccine developed by Germany’s BioNTech SE and Pfizer Inc of the United States,
which has been found to be 95% effective in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus.
The U.K. regulator is set to approve the BioNTech-fizer vaccine this week, and deliveries will begin within hours of the authorization,
the Financial Times said on Saturday.
Britain has also secured 100 million doses of the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca PLC and Oxford University
and has targeted a rollout to begin before Christmas.
