Kate Bingham is expected to be recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours this month
The former head of the vaccines taskforce, Kate Bingham, is reportedly set to be given a damehood.
In her unpaid role as chair of the UK’s Vaccine Taskforce, she led procurement of vaccines and helped secure more than 350 million doses of seven different vaccines, including 40 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and 100 million doses of the jab developed by Oxford and AstraZeneca. Bingham’s success came as the EU and many countries worldwide initially failed to secure enough vaccinations at the start of their programmes.Reports say the programme could be sped up, with over 25s and above invited to receive their first Covid jab from next week amid fears of more resilient variants.
