COVID-19: Regulators approve Moderna jab for UK use

The Moderna vaccine has become the third coronavirus jab to be approved for use in the UK - with an additional 10 million doses ordered.

The US-based company's vaccine was shown to have 94% efficacy against COVID-19 in final trials.

Seven million doses had already been ordered by the UK government with a further 10 million expected to follow - but it will likely not become available until March.
