“Delighted to have been asked by Boris Johnson to become the minister for Covid vaccine deployment. A big responsibility&a big operational challenge but absolutely committed to making sure we can roll out vaccines quickly-saving lives and livelihoods and helping us,” Zahawi tweeted after his appointment.
