- Agreement boosts chances of Team GB being fully vaccinated
- IOC says doses will not be taken out of existing programmes
The chances of Team GB being fully vaccinated against Covid before the Tokyo Olympics have received a significant boost after the IOC struck a deal with Pfizer to donate free doses to competitors and staff.
Britain had been one of the few leading countries, along with Japan, not to guarantee its athletes priority doses, with the British Olympic Association not wanting to be seen to “jump the queue”.
