94% effective for over 65s, so I guess 10 billion will cover all these if they so choose. And as testing is continuing we should be more (or less) confident as to its efficacy by then.

The companies expect to produce up to 50 million doses of the vaccine this year and up to 1.3 billion doses by the end of 2021.

The UK has pre-ordered 40 million doses of this vaccine and should get 10 million by the end of the year.

The purchases may come through by the end off the year but am sure it'll take several months next year to do the vacinnations

I think you'll find that is 10 million for the UK unless a lady called Diane was your source!
