LONDON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said he does not want European Union countries to
restrict the supply of coronavirus vaccines to Britain, saying
the lesson of the pandemic is that nations need to work
together.
After being asked about reports that the EU asked the
British drugmaker AstraZeneca to divert doses from the UK to
make up for a shortfall in supplies, Johnson said: "I don't want
to see the restrictions on vaccines or their ingredients, and I
am sure it will be widely supported across the EU as well."
The prime minister added he was confident of maintaining
Britain's COVID-19 vaccine supply.
