AstraZeneca agreed to deliver an additional 9 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to EU member states by March, resulting in the first quarter of 2021 that the EU will receive the vaccine from the company. Total 40 million doses
European Commission President Ursula von Derleyen said Tuesday that AstraZeneca, maker of the COVID-19 vaccine, agreed to deliver additional vaccines to EU member states. Another 9 million doses in March, to be made in the first quarter of this year. The EU received 40 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, but this number is only half the EU’s previous contract with AstraZeneca.
Last month, August of last year, the EU signed a contract to buy 300 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine. Under open conditions, the vaccine can be purchased for an additional 100 million doses if necessary. In which this number the company will have to deliver 80-100 million doses of the vaccine to the EU by the first quarter of 2021.
While last weekend the EU announced measures to limit the export of COVID-19 vaccines from EU factories to other countries. He was upset that Astra Seneca said it was facing production problems because the vaccine could not be delivered to the EU under the agreement. Until it creates anger that the EU tries to prevent foreign countries from receiving vaccines. Including the conflict with the United Kingdom over the company’s vaccination.
