Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what proportion of the covid-19 vaccine doses that the Government has redistributed to lower income countries have been AstraZeneca vaccines; and if he will make a statement.
As of 05 January, the UK has delivered 23.3 million doses to countries in need of which 17.8m have been delivered via COVAX and 5.5 million doses delivered directly. A further 7.5 million doses have been received by COVAX and will shortly be allocated and shipped in line with COVAX's fair allocation model. All doses donated to date have been AstraZeneca doses delivered to ODA eligible countries.
