European Union expresses dismay over AstraZeneca vaccine delays

The European Union expressed its dismay with AstraZeneca on Wednesday, reiterating its stance that the pharmaceutical giant was reneging on its coronavirus vaccine agreement with the bloc,- DW reports.

European Commissioner for Health Stella Kyriakides said that the EU held "serious concerns regarding the intention of AstraZeneca to supply considerably fewer doses in the coming weeks than agreed and announced."

"We have been making all efforts to resolve the situation," she said at a briefing. "We convened a third meeting on Monday night, which resulted again in insufficient explanations from the company, and deep dissatisfaction among the Member States."
