I don't understand what you're getting at?

Croda International are making components of the vaccine in the UK. The vaccine itself is being made out of the UK.

So to get a completed vaccine into the UK, you have to first get the components to make it out of the UK.

The point was that any border delays could affect the vaccine twice, depending on what agreements are in place.

It is goods travelling onwards to Ireland that get a bit tricky. How could they be fast-tracked?
It does look like the Government are aiming for a specific agreement to cover the vaccine to ensure that any issues in January are mitigated. I hope that works as well as they're saying it will
