Vaccine tsar says EU will get doses over which UK made claim, and tourist season could be ‘almost normal’
AstraZeneca has agreed that almost all the Covid vaccine doses made in the Netherlands over which the UK has made a claim will stay in the EU, as Brussels’ vaccine tsar said Europe was now on track for an “almost normal” tourist season.
Thierry Breton, the European commissioner leading the bloc’s vaccine taskforce, said the chief executive of AstraZeneca had confirmed to him that all but 1.2m to 1.5m doses at the Dutch plant would now be delivered to EU member states.
