is the first time the European Commission has used its powers over whether vaccines manufactured on the continent by Pfizer and AstraZeneca can leave its territory.
The export controls – which have been widely criticised as a dangerous example of “vaccine nationalism” – were hurriedly drawn up in January after the drug giants warned supply to Europe over coming months would be slashed because of production delays.More than 150 international deliveries of the AstraZeneca vaccine from Europe were authorised without a hitch over recent weeks, but. Rome’s objection was endorsed by the European Commission.
“The really, really exciting thing is that in the week beginning 22 March we will start to release the onshore supply of AstraZeneca vaccine – a million doses-plus a week – which gives us the capacity to really ramp up and broadly vaccinate our population as quickly as possible,” he said. “That’s why we’ve done a number of things, the most significant of which is to ensure that we have our own domestically produced vaccine, and we’re one of few countries that have done that,” he said.
