Matt Hancock tells @LBC that "at the moment" the UK is expecting to receive & administer half a million Ox/AZ doses a week. Claims that will increase in the near future.
Urging public to follow the rules closely, Hancock says: "We've only got a few more weeks of this - we have a vaccine, the cavalry is here."
Hancock tells #r4today: "The reason that we're not putting a numerical target on it is because the limiting step is a lack of supply... We're working with Pfizer & AstraZeneca who are doing a remarkable job in getting that supply ready so we can then deliver it through the NHS."
Hancock: "I really, really hope we get 2 million doses a week by the middle of this month but that is up to AstraZeneca." Dismisses suggestion that that is AZ's current target.
