It comes as the World Health Organisation's special envoy on COVID-19 said the UK has been "vindicated" over its "brave" decision to offers vaccine doses up to three months apart.
Dr David Nabarro told Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday the move had provided the rest of the world with a "great lesson".
The UK went against the advice of the World Health Organisation (WHO) by choosing to offer a second jab between three and 12 weeks after the first dose.
Data from the Joint Committee on Vaccines and Immunisation has so far shown reasonably high levels of protection after the first dose.
