United Kingdom 08/23/2021 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These tyrants mean business - UK orders 35 million more Pfizer vaccine doses The UK has ordered 35 million more doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which will be delivered in the second half of 2022. The government said it was preparing for a programme of Covid boosters to protect the most vulnerable this year. Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said the move was intended "to future-proof our vaccine programme". The UK has now ordered more than 540 million doses of eight different Covid vaccines. Four have so far been approved for use in the UK. The deal with Pfizer means the UK has ordered more doses of that Covid vaccine - 135 million - than any other. The NHS was given the green light to start planning third booster doses for the over-50s, after interim advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) in early July, and Mr Javid recently said the programme would start in September.
