<p>There are no delays in administering the Pfizer vaccine. We have clear plans in
place with Pfizer to ensure sufficient supply of the vaccine throughout 2021 and to
prevent any shortages. There has been a regular and steady supply of vaccine doses
arriving into the United Kingdom since early December and we have sufficient doses
to maintain our vaccination programme as it continues to accelerate, working closely
with Pfizer to ensure vaccines keep arriving into the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We have sufficient
vaccines available to administer second doses for Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca,
in line with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and the Joint
Committee on Vaccination and Immunization) guidance. The decision to offer second
doses from 8 weeks for cohorts 1 – 9 factored in that there was sufficient supply
to honour the plan. There are no known issues around availability to deliver the first
or second dose plan for any vaccine.</p>
