Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what information her Department holds on the number of covid-19 vaccine doses donated by the UK that have (a) been used, (b) been destroyed following expiry and (c) become unusable in other ways.

As of 21 January, the UK has delivered 23.3m doses to countries in need of which 17.8m have been delivered via COVAX. A further 7.5m doses have been received by COVAX and will shortly be allocated and shipped in line with COVAX's fair allocation model. COVAX works with governments to monitor equitable distribution, allocation, and delivery of vaccines in line with National Deployment and Vaccination Plans and the World Health Organisation's 'equitable allocation framework.' We also delivered 5.5m doses on a bilateral basis. We are monitoring the distribution of these vaccines.
