It wasn't the total quantity that was the problem. It was the timing. It's no use having hundreds of millions of doses if they aren't available until Q4.

nd everybody is having issues with supply, regardless of when contracts were signed. AZ has issues, Moderna has issues, Pfizer has issues. Instead of playing a blame game, I would have argely preferred to see a coordinated effort of getting the ordered doses earlier, and have deliveries coordinated with vaccination campaines. We have neither, and at least in germany I doubt we have anything like a planned vaccination campaig. None of which can be blamed on the suppliers or the EU.
And none of the urrent discussion are helpfull in solving any of these issues.
