OK, that makes a bit more sense. He's still completely wrong though. As of last week, AstraZeneca was only on track to have 4M doses available for the UK by the end of the year; I'm not sure where he's getting the idea that there will be hundreds of millions of doses ready to go. In fact, the UK is estimating that by the end of the year they'll have more doses of the Pfizer vaccine on hand than they will the AstraZeneca one:

The U.K. is struggling to stock up on supplies of a potentially game-changing coronavirus vaccine, a top government official has said.
Kate Bingham, chair of the U.K. Vaccine Taskforce, said only 4 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot will be available by the end of the year, far fewer than the 30 million that were due to be ready by September. AstraZeneca declined to comment.

Speaking to a Parliament’s science committee, Bingham estimated the U.K. would have 4 million doses of the Oxford vaccine available to deploy by the end of the year, and as many as 10 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
