EU "looking at all options" to ensure AstraZeneca delivers vaccines - spokesman

The European Commission said on Thursday it was considering all options to ensure that AstraZeneca met its commitments with the EU on deliveries of COVID-19 vaccines.

Asked whether the Commission had started procedures for legal action against the Anglo-Swedish company for its repeated cuts in EU supplies, a Commission spokesman said: "What matters is that we ensure the delivery of a sufficient number of doses in line with the company's earlier commitments."

"Together with the Member States, we are looking at all options to make this happen," he added in a statement.
