EU chief demands ‘plausible’ answers from AstraZeneca

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Friday said Brussels wanted a “plausible explanation” from AstraZeneca about an expected delay to deliveries of its vaccine. Von der Leyen stressed that the bloc’s contract with the British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant for its COVID-19 vaccine contained binding orders. The EU chief said it was up to the company to determine how the jab, developed by Oxford University, would be delivered. However, she told German public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk that she wanted transparency and reassurance about when they would arrive.
