The United Kingdom is going to get the first doses of a coronavirus vaccine developed by US pharma company Moderna next month, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden told the BBC on Sunday.
Back in January, Moderna became the third COVID-19 vaccine approved in the UK. In mid-March, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that the vaccine would arrive "in the coming weeks."
"We expect that in April Moderna will come," Dowden said. In another interview, the cabinet minister said that the government guarantees that everyone would get a second dose of a coronavirus vaccine within 12 weeks, as pledged.
Nearly 30 million Britons have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. Of them, 3.2 million have been fully vaccinated.
