LONDON: (HRNW) Britain’s medical regulator on Friday approved Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for use, the health ministry said, adding that it had agreed to purchase an additional 10 million doses of the shot as it eyed a spring rollout of the shot.
Three COVID-19 vaccines have now been approved for use in Britain, with Pfizer//BioNTech’s shot and one developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca already being rolled out.
The Moderna shot is not expected to play a part in the first stage of Britain’s vaccine rollout. Britain now has 17 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine on order, and supplies will begin to be delivered to the UK from the spring once Moderna expands its production capability.
