Poland will not take or pay for more doses of COVID vaccine under the European Union's supply contract, its health minister said, setting the stage for a legal battle with manufacturers
Poland's biggest supplier is Pfizer. However, the country has seen lower vaccine uptake than most of the European Union and has surplus vaccine stock, part of which it has sold or donated to other countries.
Pfizer said its agreement over the supply of its COVID-19 vaccine to European Union member states was with the EU Commission.Pfizer's partner BioNTech only said that Pfizer was in charge of the commercial relationship with Poland. European Commission health spokesman Stefan de Keersmaecker told a news conference on Tuesday that member states were bound by contractual obligations, but that it understood Poland's "difficult position".
