LONDON, March 30 (Reuters) - British business minister Kwasi
Kwarteng said on Tuesday that Britain was focused on vaccinating
the whole of its adult population before it would be able to
provide surplus shots to others such as Ireland.
"I think our focus has to be to try and keep Britain safe,
we want to work cooperatively as well with other countries but
the main priority is to get the vaccine rollout," Kwarteng told
Sky News.
"If there are surplus vaccine doses then we can share them
but there are no surpluses at the moment, we have still got a
huge number to vaccinate."
