LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s medical regulator on Friday approved Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for use, the health ministry said, adding that it had agreed to purchase an additional 10 million doses of the shot.
Britain now has 17 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine on order, and supplies will begin to be delivered to the UK from spring.
