We hope that the legally contracted supply of vaccines is respected – Dominic Raab

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Wednesday that the comments of the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyenon, on the vaccines against the coronavirus should be explained, as reported Reuters.

Raab further noted that they are surprised to have this conversation with the EU, adding that they expect the legally contracted supply of vaccines to be respected.

Earlier in the day, von der Leyen noted that AstraZeneca will only deliver about 70 million doses by the end of June, up from 180 million in the EU contract.
