We remain in regular discussion with Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech on future COVID-19 vaccine supply. We are unable to provide the information requested on costing, as it is commercially sensitive. Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech continue to negotiate vaccine deals with countries across the world and their ability to negotiate and compete is contingent on pricing information being kept confidential.
