More than 700,000 doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine have been sent from the UK to Australia, according to reports.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock did not deny the reports in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age about the shipment, despite the UK facing a squeeze on vaccine supplies.
The move comes with the UK, Australia and the European Union embroiled in rows over the export of vaccines.
The Australian news outlets reported that 717,000 UK-made doses have been flown in to help Scott Morrison’s government’s vaccination programme.
The rush to secure vaccine doses has led to international tensions involving the UK, EU and Australia (Ben Birchall/PA)
