The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced on Sunday January 31 that AstraZeneca would deliver to the EU nine million more doses than planned of its vaccine against the Covid, that is to say 40 million doses in total, a figure up 30%.
The company, which has suffered the wrath of European leaders for several days because of major production delays,
"will start deliveries a week earlier than expected"
and
"will also expand its manufacturing capacity in Europe,"
wrote Ursula von der Leyen on Twitter.
