Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the UK Government has promised to send surplus covid-19 vaccine doses to Vietnam.
The United Kingdom has contributed £548 million towards the COVAX Advance Market Commitment, which provides the 92 most vulnerable economies access to COVID-19 vaccines. Vietnam has been allocated over 4.8 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine under this mechanism and delivery can be expected in the second quarter of 2021.
