Where does it say that AstraZeneca are delivering less because of Italy's interception of vaccines?
- est31 6y ago> AstraZeneca on Friday said unspecified export restrictions now rendered plans to bring in large amounts of doses made outside Europe unlikely. It said it now expects to provide 100 million doses to the EU in the first half of this year, down from earlier commitments of around 270 million.
- patrickmcnamara 6y ago> bring in large amounts of doses made outside Europe unlikely I assume this is referring to the US export ban. It definitely isn't referring to Italy.
- jimmydorry 6y agoAustralia also likely won't be looking to export theirs now, until their whole country is immunized. They are targetting to produce 100 million doses by the end of the year. All of this over the 3.8 million doses they bought, and were intercepted and taken by Italy (whose export control already reduced the shipment size to 780k doses).
- Dma54rhs 6y agoExport restrictions by other countries, from vaccines themselves to substances needed. Pretty sure you got it wrong.
- est31 6y agoHmmm you might have a point. That way of reading it is way more amicable. Thanks.
- idiliv 6y agoIt doesn't. > AstraZeneca on Friday said unspecified export restrictions now rendered plans to bring in large amounts of doses made outside Europe unlikely. This suggests that countries outside the EU have imposed export restrictions that contribute to the vaccine shortage.
