I think you will find that the UK placed its vaccine order with Astra and others, 3 months before the EU placed there order. To many hurdles and hoops to jump through before the EU could place their order. The UK government cut to the chase and removed the pointless time consuming admin. The EU kept too their long winded system which takes ages.
You will find the same is true on manufacturing too. The UK has removed manufacturing hurdles where the EU has not ! Adding to production lead times !
Finally If the EU had bothered to get a proper water tight contract with Astra then they might have had some redress, but they messed that up too.
Banana Joe , the schedule is a plan, just that , a plan. IF the EU wanted it to be more than that they should have got it in writing. I have every sympathy for the manufacturer Astra.
Oh yes, and there is a French company who have developed a vaccine too. Which country invested cash in its development. No NOT France , but us here in the UK.
