Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the price per dose was for surplus vaccine donations in 2021 as of August 2022.
In 2021 the UK donated 30.8m doses of Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccines to countries in need. We reported ODA expenditure in line with 2021 OECD-DAC guidance. The UK contract with Astra Zeneca is no profit no loss so the final dose price will only be settled once all relevant expenditures have been taken into account. The August 2022 estimate of £3.36 per dose was the best available at the time the statistics on vaccine donations were compiled. Should there be further changes to the price per dose, we will review these in line with the revisions policy. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1021440/FCDO-Revisions-Policy.pdf
