The Government has regular and ongoing engagement with companies involved in supplying vaccines for Covid-19, as well as with the European Commission and others involved in the procurement and production of vaccines.

I myself have had a number of direct engagements with companies involved in the development and supply of vaccines. This has included meetings with AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer in recent months.

The Government will continue to make every effort to ensure that the vaccine roll out is successful, this includes engagement, as necessary, with the companies involved in supplying vaccines.
