Jab: About 95pc of new deliveries of vaccines are rolled out in a week. We will get a share of over 1pc and so far we have enough advance purchase agreements for 18.5 million doses, enough to vaccinate 10.3m people. The most recently added vaccines to the portfolio are Novovax, for 1.1 million doses, and Valneva – both of which have yet to be approved. Game changerThe Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is expected to be approved this week, has been hailed as a game changer because recipients need just one shot. It emerged yesterday that Johnson & Johnson told the EU that it is facing supply issues that may hit plans to deliver 55 million doses of vaccine over the second quarter of the year.
