EU to trigger ‘severe disruption' to world vaccine rollout- same as it did with PPE horror Kate Nicholson Replay Video UP NEXT The EU has been at the centre of an international row over vaccine supplies, having lashed out at the UK-based developer, AstraZeneca, for not delivering on the agreed quantities of jabs. AstraZeneca's initial contract with the bloc promised to provide 80 million jabs in the first three months of this year - however, following a production delay at a European plant, this number has plummeted to just 30 million. In retaliation, the bloc implemented an emergency Brexit measure to prevent any vaccines from crossing from the EU member state of Ireland into Northern Ireland, shocking the international community.
