One wonders if the health secretary even considered that Valneva is whole virus vaccine, compared to other vaccines in use.
Early worries around Omicron variant are of potential to evade current vaccines. Was this potential not considered prior to cancelling the contract? Or have they just looked at how many total vaccines we have and the cost.
