Business Secretary Alok Sharma said: 'Our scientists are at the forefront of vaccine development. This deal with AstraZeneca means that if the Oxford University vaccine works, people in the UK will get the first access to it, helping to protect thousands of lives.

How long does the AZ vaccine last for in longer-term storage? Can it be stored for several months?
It has occurred to me that the early output of the EU-based plants has to go somewhere, and as the EU has yet to authorise it, it possibly has had to go somewhere such as the UK.
Under EU rules, can a product, of whatever type, that is not authorised for use in the EU, only be sent outside the EU? Eg Can an EU business, produce products destined for the US, that would not be allowed to be marketed and sold in the EU?
