The Health Secretary was quizzed on the level of dosage of the Pfizer vaccine Britain has secured by Sky News host Niall Paterson. Mr Hancock admitted that currently, only 20 million people in the UK would be able to receive the vaccine, leaving more than two-thirds of the population unvaccinated.

“This is why we have been buying across the board.”
