Has UK ordered the Moderna vaccine?
The UK has signed a deal for seven million doses of the Moderna vaccine for the UK.
This means Britain will have access to enough doses of Moderna’s vaccine candidate for around 3.5 million people.
Speaking after making the deal in November, Business Secretary Alok Sharma said: “It is essential that we continue to bolster our portfolio of vaccine candidates to ensure we’re in the best possible position to protect the public once we see that breakthrough.
“The UK was one of the first countries in Europe to sign a deal with Moderna, and I’m delighted we have been able to secure a further 2 million doses of their promising candidate for the British public.”
