UK secures more Covid-19 vaccine doses

Hopes rise for return to normal, as survey shows 64 per cent would take vaccine

The UK government has secured an additional two million doses of a Covid-19 vaccine being developed by US biotech company Moderna, as a survey revealed that two-thirds of people would accept a coronavirus vaccine.

With a return to normal life—for researchers, universities and the rest of the country—largely resting on a successful vaccine rollout, the UK government said it now has agreements in place with seven vaccine developers for access to 357 million doses.
