A FACTORY in Barnard Castle is to host a vaccine finishing service to support the manufacturing of up to 60million doses of the jag.

The site is operated by pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and will help to complete the creation of the Novavax coronavirus vaccine.

The Prime Minister said the deal between GSK, Novavax and the UK Government vaccines taskforce will “further boost our vaccine rollout” during a press conference this evening.

Sheer coincidence .....

The "Cummings effect" was later blamed for a dramatic erosion of public confidence in the Government's handling of the pandemic.

Research suggested it was responsible for declining compliance with the rules amid frustration he had demonstrated "one rule for them, one rule for the rest of us".

Mr Johnson resisted making a gag when announced that GlaxoSmithKline will support the manufacturing of up to 60 million doses of the Novavax vaccine at its plant in Barnard Castle.

But the PM later told the business leaders on the Tuesday night call: “What Dom was actually doing was scouting out the complex."

Reports suggest his gag was met with complete silence.
