If there are idiots who want to turn down the vaccine because it is not the British one, they are at liberty to do so and accept the consequences. I will happily have whatever I am offered as soon as I am asked!
As to cost - each month the virus is at at large costs UK PLC economy around £20bn. The National Audit Office estimate the total cost of vaccinating the UK population at £12bn of which the "bare" vaccine cost is only a part.
Any delay to rollout will cost the contry far more than the difference in the cost of the vaccine.
