The UK has ordered 40 million Pfizer, 100 million AstraZeneca and 17
million Moderna, sounds like enough for two doses each even if there's a
bit of wastage ...

According to one of the Government ministers the UK has ordered 300
million doses - but this includes vaccines that are still in the trial
stage.

They were *all* in the trial stage when ordered, weren't they?


Yes, its not a criticism of the policy, cost or possible wastage. At the

produced within any reasonable time scale.
