Viv, I think that if you do a little research online about the temporary approval, I think that you will find that the reason behind it is the fact that at the time that it was granted, the UK was still a member of the EU, our membership of which ceased on the 31st Dec 2020. The rules at that time stated that individual states within the EU were able to grant temporary approval for drugs/vaccines for a limited period, and that is what the UK did as well as some other countries, such as Hungary I believe.
No doubt that in due course the relevant authority will grant full approval when it gets around to it.
