I read it as he's saying getting the ingredient shipped out of the UK could become harder after January if/when there are border delays. There is then the similar issue of getting any completed vaccine or supporting supplies shipped back into the UK.

"The worry of course, the last thing we need, is a problem with a lack of an agreement, and you've got friction at the borders, and I'm sure the UK government are acutely aware of this," he said.

"We must make sure that the vaccine doesn't have any problems getting into the UK, into the supply chain, or even the practical issues of refrigerant technologies and everything else. They could be products that are needed for the UK that are sourced abroad, so making sure that we are free from friction at the borders is is a crucial step for the vaccine."
