“ Third Covid vaccine set for UK approval next week but arrival delayed by Brexit
Moderna jab won’t be available in Britain until April but fourth vaccine may soon come online
A third Covid vaccine is likely to be approved for use in Britain next week but it will not be available until April because the UK is no longer part of the EU.
Britain has ordered 7m doses of the Moderna vaccine, which has been approved by regulators in the EU and US. But UK authorisation will not help the government towards its goal of vaccinating the most vulnerable by mid-February.
The Moderna vaccine is similar to the Pfizer/BioNTech version and has produced equally strong results in late-stage clinical trials, with efficacy of 94%. However, it was not part of the portfolio of vaccines bought by the UK until those results were released.“

Moderna’s does nit require -70C storage, so big bummer - avoidable deaths due to Brexit will be in many thousands now , probably tens of thousands - dead people don’t eat fish
