The EU has warned it could ban exports of vaccines made in the bloc. How would this affect the UK?

The European Union has warned it could ban exports of vaccines produced there, as it struggles to speed up its vaccination rollout.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told AstraZeneca: "You fulfil your part of the deal towards Europe, before you start to deliver to other countries."The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is made in the UK at two sites: in Oxford and Keele. A third plant in Wrexham puts the vaccine into vials and packages it up for distribution.

The UK has ordered 100 million doses. Almost all will come from within the UK, but 10 million doses are being made by the Serum Institute in India.Why is India struggling to meet global vaccine demand?The company says supplies are coming mainly from the US and a site in Seneffe in Belgium. AstraZeneca is working with suppliers in 15 countries to make the vaccine.

A site in Leiden in the Netherlands is also producing some vaccine, although the pharmaceutical company said it was not significant. AstraZeneca confirmed that the UK has not received any vaccines or components from the EU - apart from one "tiny" batch from the Leiden plant.The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was, as the name implies, chiefly funded by the university and the pharmaceutical company.There was some other investment, but a University of Oxford spokesperson said it was difficult to untangle, because of the way research is funded.

It's made in Wrexham, Wales. UK also gets AZ vaccines exported from Serum Institute in India, and their production problems are cause of the vaccine shortages in the UK.

UK supply should be made in UK. Honda quitting UK so massive factory available in Swindon to be used for UK manufacture of Covid vaccine. It has Google access to distribution routes and close to Oxford. Instead of spending billions on trace nothing could invest on this

bbclaurak It seems only in Brussels

Oxford Vaccine made in University of Oxford and Astra Zeneca made in other center. But i don't know the name of center!!!! 😀😀 Thank you. 👍

BBCWorld In the glorious peoples republic of Astrazenecastan....eyeee.

BBCWorld Do you want to make money through Bitcoin investments? You don’t send money to anyone!!

BBCWorld So you mean 100 million vaccines r made by English hands while the other 10 millions r being made by Indians?! Then how do the Indians have the right to name their vaccines the same name of the English's.

It's her day off.

Oxford? 🤔

bbclaurak That's great how you list the locations that are manufacturing it . . . and then just completely ignore India for the purposes of the map

Judging by the tantrums; where we can't get it.

A question I asked and am still waiting for the answer 🙄

BBCWorld made in the garbage to kill the people especially older people.

BBCWorld Now being produced in Australia by CSL., But EU countries need not bother asking Australia for any made in Australia after the EU blocked the Vaccine being shipped to Australia.!

BBCWorld Dm if you know that 3000 can do something in your life and you are not gonna pay any fees

bbclaurak I refused the vaccine because it was foreign

BBCPolitics Almost all UK AZ supplies are made in England and packed in Wales. The EU is irrelevent.

Well done Boris

It's made in space and shipped down every 3/4 months we all know this 🤷‍♂️

The UK were unable to confirm if any vaccine was going the other way... ANSWER = NO AZ has a UK 1ST policy..Thats fine. The players will adjust their behaviours to suit that policy. On we go.

They aren't manufacturing them in Australia anymore? Thought they were making at least 50 million

BBCWorld Is it Cambridge ?

BBCWorld 1billion + dose made in india

Made in Oxford then it gets driven in an Astra to Zeneca. Not my greatest but I’ll still stick it on here for everyone.

That would be an interesting answer!! But are they the ones rumoured to be working on a vaccine arm patch or is it the Cubans? Sure to make incredible money if this is to be true! Like a pack of 4 of those for a year would be so amazing! Travel again! Wow!

100 million doses to be supplied by UK sites to UK, why is UK gov so exercised by the stock/production from Dutch plant. If only 10 million from India & 5 million been delayed how is that stopping how is it suspending next phase for under 50s. ?
