It will also end up paying more per vaccine.

on the flip side we might get the Oxford vaccine earlier...

I’ve heard that the Oxford vaccine may not be as effective as the Pfizer Biontech one

No data suggesting that at the moment, though there's no real data on the Oxford one just yet - I think it's due imminently. It does have the advantage that it doesn't have to be kept at -70 though, just at normal refrigeration temperatures.

It's likely that different vaccines may work optimally for different age groups too.

Why have you linked an article from March.

So much Brexit Derangement Syndrome.

Your article is not correct.
No idea why Pfizer is such big news. There are 3 more vaccines that the UK have ordered larger amounts of.
