It's not on hold as far as I'm aware, but it's not as far down the testing path as the others. So it hasn't yet been approved

The Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine may be approved for use in the UK as soon as Christmas, Matt Hancock has claimed.

The Health Secretary suggested the jab could follow the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and become the second to get the green light from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Also there is the issue about the half dose / full dose effectiveness that they're trialling properly now.
