Britain has supply deals for 350 million vaccine doses from Moderna and other pharmaceutical companies, according to Matt Hancock. REUTERS Previous NextBritain has secured five million doses of Moderna's vaccine candidate after it reported positive trial results, health minister Matt Hancock says, adding the first batch is expected for delivery in spring. Interim data from a late-stage trial indicated Moderna's vaccine was 94.5 percent effective in preventing Covid-19. Anthony Fauci, the United States' top infectious disease scientist, hailed Moderna's results as "stunningly impressive." And as Pfizer and Moderna had only released interim test results of their products, it would be hard to compare their effectiveness, Hui said.
