Reuters exclusively reports EU blocks 3.1 million doses of AstraZeneca shots to Australia

Reuters exclusively reported that the European Union has blocked shipments of 3.1 million doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine to Australia, and the country has little hope of getting the remaining 400,000 doses it has been pledged on time. The export curb underscores massive shortfalls of the AstraZeneca shot across the EU bloc and complicates Australia’s inoculation campaign, which is already 83% behind its original schedule.
