That’s the message to AstraZeneca: you fulfil your contract with Europe first, before you start delivering to other countries,” Ms von der Leyen told a German newspaper on Saturday. Ms von der Leyen said the contract between the EU and AstraZeneca clearly stipulates how many vaccines the EU is set to receive from AstraZeneca’s factories inside the EU and in the UK. Ms von der Leyen said: “we didn’t get anything from the British, while we are delivering vaccines to them”. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has said ‘we didn’t get anything from the Brits, while we are delivering vaccines to them’. Seventy million doses are now expected to be delivered between April and June, instead of the 180 million doses which were originally planned.
