Vaccine Minister: We Are Confident In Supply After Talking To Manufacturers

Vaccines Minister Nadim Zahawi says that he has spoken to vaccine manufacturers and that he is 'very confident in the supply of current vaccines and future ones.'

• Says he has 'real confidence in the supply and visibility of supply.'
• Vaccine Taskforce Director General Nick Elliot: "I am confident we will have sufficient supply to meet UK PM Johnson's updated vaccine targets."
• It has been noticed that the number of first dose vaccinations has slowed a little in recent days, raising concerns over supply. However, gov't has explained this as anticipated short-term supply blips and due to the reservation of more doses for those now awaiting their second jabs limiting the ability to give out as many first doses as previously.
