BRUSSELS, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The European Union and
AstraZeneca failed to make a breakthrough on Wednesday
over delayed COVID-19 vaccine deliveries, the bloc's health
chief said.
The EU is pushing the company to supply more doses of its
vaccine from plants in Europe and Britain after the AstraZeneca
announced delivery delays, adding to frustrations over the EU's
inoculation programme.
"We regret the continued lack of clarity on the delivery
schedule," EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides said in a
tweet, adding the EU was requesting a clear plan from
AstraZeneca for the rapid delivery of the vaccine doses the bloc
has reserved for the first quarter.
