I think you are wrong. UK gov blocked exports to the EU.
"Two factories in Britain run by Oxford Biomedica and Cobra Biologics are also listed as suppliers to the EU in the contract with AstraZeneca, but no vaccine has so far been shipped from Britain to the EU, despite Brussels' earlier requests."
"AstraZeneca told EU officials that the UK is using a clause in its supply contract that prevents export of its vaccines until the British market is fully served, EU officials said."

- mattmanser 6y agoSo? That's a commercial clause, AZ took funding for vaccine development with that clause in it. That's not an export ban, that was paid for.
