We’re not exactly “all in” on the AZ vaccine. It’s the one we’ve backed and ordered most of.
100 million.
But we also have ordered 300million further vaccines from other manufacturers.

So given we’ve ordered enough vaccines to immunise the nation several times over I think HMG are doing alright.
Certainly we’re not constrained to the one vaccine.
