Oxford University and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca have applied for approval in the UK for the Corona vaccine they are developing. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was “delighted” that data on the vaccine, “developed here in the UK,” had been “fully” submitted to the health regulator MHRA.
Meanwhile, the Biontech and Pfizer vaccine has been given 500,000 times in the UK. However, the British government is relying primarily on the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University. Orders have already been placed for 100 million doses of this vaccine. Production has begun, according to Hancock.
