Britain will not donate more vaccine doses to the developing world until the UK’s booster programme is completed, Boris Johnson said last night.
The UK is under pressure from the World Health Organisation to accelerate donations to developing countries.
Some British scientists have also backed the call, arguing there is a moral imperative to vaccinate the world’s vulnerable before giving booster shots in the UK.
But the PM dismissed the call last night, saying his ‘priority’ was to give maximum protection to people in the UK first.
