- SiempreViernes 6y agoDiscover as in finding out they where there. The plant that made them had not applied for, and so had not received, permission to supply the EU. Since they were officially not fit for use in the EU, it's perfectly plausible that AZ did not report their existence to the EC.
- airhead969 6y agoInteresting. So they couldn't use them yet in the EU. Then the export matter would possibly be separate? (There are millions of AZ vaccines in Ohio and Maryland waiting to become the 4th approved vaccine in the US, but are stuck in FDA EUA paperwork.)
- SiempreViernes 6y agoYes, but they couldn't use them yet in the EU by their own choice. And given how much was stocked up, the plant itself has been making QA approved product for a while, so they were evidently not in a rush to get that approval either...
