At a rough count I think that means the UK has now purchased somewhere around 420 million doses of vaccine.

For an adult population of around 50 million iirc.

Are they going to stockpile or donate the excess?

Ha! I am not a Covid carrier.

Test date: 28 January 2021
NHS Number: 499

It’s a table of response to the virus, I doubt anyone is worse than Brazil (at least of countries publishing genuine stats).
