An extra 60 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine have been secured to help support a booster Covid-19 vaccination programme beginning from the autumn months later in the year, the UK government said on Wednesday.
During a Downing Street briefing where he made that announcement, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock was questioned about sending vaccines to India as it battles a massive second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and faces vaccine shortages.
“We currently have no excess doses, we are doing what we can… but we work very closely with India on vaccine production,” the minister said, adding that the UK had ensured at-cost supply of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines to the Serum Institute of India, which is manufacturing some of the largest number of doses of the jabs in the world by “benefitting from British science”.
UK Death Toll From Blood Clots After AstraZeneca Jab Rises to 41
The UK medicines regulator has said that 41 people have died after developing blood clots following vaccination with the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, an increase of nine deaths from last week’s figures.
This was revealed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on Thursday in a weekly update on the side effects of CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccines, which is based on data up to April 21.
The new data was published after UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine earlier on Thursday, in a public show of support for the jab.
