• As far as I know, most of the Pfizer vaccine and the Oxford vaccine come over from Netherlands and Germany?

    The majority of the Oxford vaccine (for the UK) is being manufactured in the UK (Wrexham).

  • I read that the first batches are being made in Europe (Germany and Netherlands) up until the end of the year after which manufacture will be mainly Uk.

    Yeah, that's why I said "the majority." Although I'm not entirely sure if it's "the first batches" we get will be from the EU, or the EU portion will be in the first batches that are sent out. I remember reading that the EU manufacturing is only due to there being capacity to do it, so they decided to make use of it rather than not, and that manufacturing in the UK is already taking place.

    The vaccine stuff is all a bit mysterious in terms of numbers and delivery dates from what I've been able to google, but from the look of things, the UK is very well off in terms of getting doses both domestically and internationally. I don't think closed borders will be an issue.
