(corrects March 18 story to say should not be worried in 1st
paragraph)
LONDON, March 18 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said on Thursday that people should not be worried about
the European Union's threat to ban exports of COVID-19 vaccines
to Britain to safeguard scarce doses for its own citizens.
"I think that people should be under no anxiety or
misapprehension about that," Johnson said at a news conference
in Downing Street.
"Whatever you may hear about the pressures that different
countries are under to deliver vaccines for their public, these
vaccines are a multi-national effort and they are produced as
the result of international cooperation and we in the UK will
continue to view it in that spirit."
