LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Britain will not use vaccines as
a short-term diplomatic tool, foreign office minister James
Cleverly said on Friday, speaking about the country's plan to
donate surplus vaccines to the COVAX initiative to support
developing countries.
"We are not going to use vaccine distribution as some kind
of - as some countries are doing - short term diplomatic
leverage," Cleverly told the BBC.
