Advertisement Britain is thought to be paying about £15 ($29) per dose compared to £2.17 for AstraZeneca. The European Union is paying about â¬12 ($19) per Pfizer dose - less than the UK because it helped subsidise its development. Those prices were set in 2020 and competition for scarce vaccine supplies has only increased since. The next questions are whether all 20 million extra doses arrive by the end of 2021, and where from. Tough export controls established by the European Union have prevented Australia from importing 3.1 million AstraZeneca doses from the Continent. In good news, though, Australia will likely have a much easier time getting approval for exports of Pfizer from Europe.
