The European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans has admitted that mistakes were made in Brussels when COVID-19 vaccines were being ordered and suggested taking stock “at the end of the pandemic” of what went wrong and what was done right. EURACTIV’s partner Der Tagesspiegel reports. One of the most vocal critics, Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, accused the EU on Friday (12 March) of unfairly distributing COVID-19 vaccines among member states, highlighting that certain EU countries have several times more vaccines than others. “It is true that mistakes were made in the ordering of vaccines both in Brussels and in the member states,” Timmermans told the Tagesspiegel.
