As of April 13, 2021, the United Kingdom government had ordered 457 million doses of various COVID-19 vaccines. The UK government has ordered 100 million doses each of the AstraZeneca and Valneva vaccines. On December 2, 2020, the UK became the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and the first inoculations took place six days later on December 8. The Pfizer/BioNTech immunization requires two injections several weeks apart for full immunity to occur, which means the initial order of 40 million doses is enough for 20 million individuals to be vaccinated.
The total number of cases in the UK can be found here. For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
