Britain has agreed to spend
3.7 billion pounds on Covid-19 vaccines and in most cases will bear the liability if claims are made against the pharmaceutical companies involved.
The British government has agreed supply deals for 357 million doses of seven different candidate shots, but has not gone into detail about how much it has spent or indemnity agreements, citing commercial confidentiality around the contracts.
The government had signed firm deals for five of the candidates, including the Pfizer/BioNTech shot which has already been approved and is being rolled out, as well as those developed by Oxford/AstraZeneca, France’s Valneva, Novavax and Moderna.
