London

In an interview with Italian newspaper la Repubblica on Tuesday, AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot said the company had agreed to make its"best effort" to deliver the doses EU countries had ordered but was not contractually committed to a schedule. Soriot also told the newspaper that countries including the United Kingdom were quicker than the European Union to finalize their orders, meaning the drugmaker was unable to give the bloc an iron-clad commitment on its delivery schedule.
