UK Health Minister Hancock

The UK's Health Minister Hancock is on the wires saying:

• it won't join EU coronavirus vaccination program
• it does not rule out future virus collaboration with EU
• says joining EU vaccine scheme would have risk slowing down UK access to vaccines in the future

Meanwhile, German Deputy Foreign Minister Roth on a ITV interview on Brexit slammed UK for back sliding from Brexit declaration, and warned:

• EU/UK must be ready for worst case.

Not much love/trust between the UK and EU at the moment.
