UK signs deals to buy experimental coronavirus vaccines
BBC, 15 Aug 2020
The UK government has signed deals to buy two more experimental coronavirus vaccines.
Ninety million doses have been purchased from a Belgian pharmaceutical company and a US biotech firm.
The UK now has 340 million doses of six different vaccines on order, enough to give everyone in the country five doses. But it’s still unclear whether any of them will work.
