A recent report claimed the NHS had declined to make a commitment to delivering two million doses of Covid-19 vaccine a week. Vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi vowed on Twitter that the NHS will get 13.9 million doses prepared for the most vulnerable by the middle of February. The Pfizer vaccine needs to be kept at -70C for it to work. To reach the 13.2 million target in six weeks, the NHS must vaccine 2 million people per week, or an average of almost 320,000 a day. It is thought the UK has four to five million doses of the Pfizer vaccine currently in reserve.
