The UK has bought up 40 million doses of the jab which could be rolled out to the most vulnerable before Christmas. And last night it emerged that tens of millions of UK-made coronavirus vaccines will be ready for production by the end of the year, claims a professor overseeing the trial. Professor Andrew Pollard, chief investigator of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine trial, was “optimistic” to get approval on the jab by Christmas. The Government has put in an order for 100million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab, which is believed to cost £2.23 per dose. It has also ordered 40million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which needs two injections thought to cost £29.47.
