Health secretary says he can see an end to crisis where virus is treated like flu, with repeated vaccines
Vaccinations had saved more than 6,000 lives in the UK by the end of February, Matt Hancock has revealed, saying he now believes he can see an end to the crisis where Covid-19 could be treated like flu and dealt with via top-up vaccines.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Hancock also claimed the UK had the upper hand in a dispute with the EU over vaccine supply contracts. “They have a ‘best efforts’ contract and we have an exclusivity deal,” he said.
