The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) awarded a contract to THE GAVI ALLIANCE for the UK's participation in the multilateral vaccine procurement initiative COVAX.

The UK committed £71m to secure purchase rights for vaccines for up to 20% of the UK population (~13.46 million people) through the self-financing arm of the facility, separate from the £548m contribution made to COVAX to support vaccine access for lower income countries.

COVAX provides an opportunity to secure access to additional vaccine candidates and further diversify the UK domestic portfolio.
