Britain’s Covid vaccine programme faces a two-month delay in the event of an EU export ban, derailing the government’s plans to reopen the economy this summer, an analysis for the Guardian reveals.
A ban, due to be debated by leaders of the 27 EU member states on Thursday, would badly stall the UK vaccination effort, and would be likely to force the government to extend restrictions on people’s lives.
It would not, however, provide a significant boost to EU member states’ troubled programmes, according to a report by the data analytics company Airfinity.
The comparatively small number of doses that would be kept within the bloc would speed up the full vaccination of every adult in the EU by “just over a week”, the research suggests.

Maybe the EU would be less confrontational if our government weren't breaking international law whenever the whimsy takes them
They have rather messed things up though, especially the French who have totally undermined trust in the AZ vaccine First, they wouldn't use it in over65s, then the non-existent problems with blood clots, now they say they won't use it in under-55s! 😱 Way to go, Macron - next he'll be saying it's only safe if your name is Gaston Lefevre
From a selfish perspective, I'm hoping this won't jeopardise my second Pfizer vaccination in May
