"Last Friday, the company AstraZeneca surprisingly informed the Commission and the European Union Member States that it intends to supply considerably fewer doses in the coming weeks than agreed and announced," she said."The European Union wants to know exactly which doses have been produced by AstraZeneca and where exactly so far and if or to whom they have been delivered."
In a statement on Friday, AstraZeneca said that while there would be no delay once the vaccine was approved in the EU,"initial volumes will be lower than originally anticipated due to reduced yields at a manufacturing site within our European supply chain." In her statement on Monday, Kyriakides said the EU was requesting the order, which was"pre-paid," be"delivered as soon as possible."The CEO of AstraZeneca, Pascal Soriot, spoke to European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen on Monday and stressed the company was"doing everything it can to bring its vaccine to millions of Europeans as soon as possible."
