Von der Leyen comments directly on UK

"Where the UK's concerned, indeed we have observed that in the last six weeks 10 million doses by now have been exported to the UK," the European Commission president continues.

"It is country number one where exports from the European Union is concerned and indeed, the United Kingdom is producing AstraZeneca."

She says that the AstraZeneca contract refers to two production sites in the UK "for deliveries to the EU".

"We are still waiting for doses to come from the UK, so this is an invitation to show us that there are also doses from the UK coming to the European Union," she adds.

• The UK committed £1.67billion on Covid vaccines before it was known whether they would be effective - more than the £1.57billion the EU spent on behalf of 27 countries, with Britain spending £25.00 per capita compared to £3.51 for Brussels.
• The US government spent £7.9billion in total, according to the figures from science analytics firm Airfinity, an outlay of £24.02 for each of its 330million people.

Apparently close to 100m doses available in the first quarter. Supply isn't the EUs problem, its a sluggish rollout and vaccine hesitancy.

We have the figures for France and Germany - their two largest countries by some distance - and their problem is clear.

Good thing is jabs are going to an arm somewhere, but the current situation was logically never going to continue. The AZ jab due to the supply issues isnt as significantly used in the EU as it is the UK, likely for the reasons i explained. A pause of a few days will be made up in a heart beat and vaccines will be used, nothing surer.

To be honest i haven't heard one person say they wouldn't use AZ or really care what vaccine they get - Bill D, might have a better idea on mainland Europe. Certainly here if we had 100k doses tomorrow, they would be in 100k arms by the end of next week. 30k, AZ were paused here this week, we have a capacity to do 250k a week, we have no where near that supply, the pause wont impact really.

A ‘pause’ of a week is about 2 million AZ doses. That could give everybody, adult and child, a first dose in Slovakia, or Latvia, or the first and second dose in Estonia, Cyprus, Luxembourg or Malta......

You are still missing the point. The U.K. doesn’t own any vaccines apart from the ones they have contracted for and bought. It is not for the U.K. to tell a private company where it’s product goes The EU is the same In respect of those companies physically in the EU. The EU do not own the vaccine made in the EU, they own whatever they have contracted for and paid for, and only that.....

They'll no doubt be pretty livid with the EU at the moment.

I'm not surprised Von der Leyen is continuing to try and point fingers and blame others.

A few are going Russia/China for vaccines instead eh?

Not the UKs fault that - they have a stockpile in Germany and France not being used, won't move it on because their bureaucracy has crippled them.
