They're all part of the EU purchase deal and get allocated pro rata to each member state per population size. Edit: would be great to get a bunch of Novavax doses as well, their phase 1/2 and NHP challenge studies had fantastic results. They'd make perfect boosters after a year if we need them.

I really do find it hard to believe these lads believe what they preach, when other countries are expecting to start rollout very early in new year we've this lad on TV telling people nope another 9 months. No wonder the country is so divided, the sooner he's out of the media spotlight the better
