Britain is to become a production hub for the worldwide supply of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. Pfizer has distributed 1.6 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses so far this year with a target of three billion for 2021 and four billion in 2022. The deal will bolster Britain's domestic coronavirus vaccine production industry. But the Government last month terminated a deal with France's Valneva to supply doses from its facilities in West Lothian, Scotland, despite ploughing taxpayer funds into the site. One billion doses have been allocated for low and lower-middle income countries at no profit this year and a further billion in 2022.
