The EU has secured access to 300 million more doses of Pfizer and BioNTech s COVID-19 vaccine, the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said Friday morning.
If it orders all 300 million doses, this would double its total supply of the shot.
The EU has faced criticism for its slow vaccine rollout but ordering more doses is unlikely to solve the problem, due to supply problems and slow distribution.
