We'll have ordered forty million doses by the end of the year for about a third of the population but will we have all the freezers needed to store them all?

Don't know much about this but I've been having a read up. Apparently vaccines (as they are injected into your body) are predominantly water. The "active ingredients" make up only a tiny part of the shot. It's clearly not practical for anybody to routinely handle stuff that is at -80C and certainly not advisable to inject something at that temperature into somebody and since a normal dose is mainly water it would be solid anyway. So I'm wondering if it's just the active ingredients that must be stored at ultra low temperature.

It was on the news (R4 Today programme) this morning - for the last 48 hours, it does not need to be stored at that temperature. The implication being that it will be stored centrally and delivered locally at the last minute.
