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......

What is this mate. Don’t get it.
 
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.....

I think that is the nutshell of the problem mate.

The UK, AZ and EU have different interpretations of their rights and their contracts. Each will have their own interests of course and ways of progressing them.
 
Have you figures from more recently then a month ago, the initial roll out was stilted post 1st EU delivery on Feb 8, as national regulators were deciding whether they would roll out to over 65s.

No but there's this quote.

Europe is still on track to meet vaccine supply targets as increased output from Pfizer offsets any shortages in AstraZeneca shots, EU Industry Commissioner Thierry Breton said.

Supply isn't an issue, it's an excuse for the pitiful job they've done rolling it out and mitigating vaccine hesitancy.
 
It is the populations of EU countries. A delay of 1 week is approx 2 million doses of AZ...see which whole countries 2 million doses would vaccine....

I don’t get the point mate and I don’t understand the figures.

We had 30k AZ doses scheduled this week I know that were postponed, we do 100k a week on current supply, we have capacity to do 250k a week, a pause we knock out of the park in a couple of days.

Yesterday we had 350 cases, in the two days preceding we had 0 deaths. I know you are trying to make out the EU is in crisis, to be honest we’re not desperate, a pause was just logical, given our position.

In all honesty supply has been an issue mate, honestly it has. We had a target of 2 mill vaccinations Q1 based on supply contracts, our revised is 1.1 mill - depending on supply. The EU will be fine, tbh I think the EU and UK will finish the programme at same time. Q2. If all goes well Europe will be awash.

The EU are on track to be roughly six to ten months behind the UK/USA. Far from fine.
