In the bitter dispute over the distribution of 10 million early vaccination doses from Biontech / Pfizer, EU states found a solution on Thursday. However, only 24 EU states participate in solidarity compensation for lagging states. Austria, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, which were against the initial proposal of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU, will receive their share of the population. In the case of Austria, that’s 198,815 cans.
The distribution of the vaccine has divided the EU states, the EU ambassadors could not agree on a common line after two days of negotiations. The solution that has now been agreed was found in a silent procedure initiated by the EU presidency, in which no objection was raised until 7:00 p.m., according to diplomats. Around 2.85 million of the ten million cans will be used as solidarity compensation, the additional cans will be delivered to Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia, but not to the originally planned Czech Republic.
