Britain's Covid-19 vaccine programme is challenging due to supply constraints but is set to meet its targets, the minister responsible for rolling out the shots said, adding that 12 million second doses would be distributed this month. "Supply is always challenging and supply is finite as you're seeing around the world.
But I'm confident ... that we'll meet our targets," Nadhim Zahawi said. He also said that any Covid status certification scheme that the UK adopts has to be workable and must not discriminate against people who are not vaccinated. "Everyone can get a test.
There is no discrimination. Not everyone can get a vaccine ... which is why we've got to look at all the technologies to make sure they work together," he said.
