There's resistance to AstraZeneca vaccine, and in my country (Hungary) to Sinopharm and SPUTNIK-V. Russian troops invaded Hungary in the past, so there's not much trust in a Russian vaccine, we trust the EU and US more, but the government is laundering lots of money by getting vaccines from the east (they payed $31 per dose for Sinopharm vaccine)

You're looking at thing as they are now.
Now, as I've said, there's demand\need since the EU scaled up the vaccination efforts however, look back 3-5 months.
EU was discussing just how to split\manage the vaccines among the union members, while Israel was vaccinating at a neck-breaking pace.
While my family in EU were not sure if they want to be vaccinated, people in Israel were waiting hours in line to even get a chance to get vaccinated.
Israel currently has over 80% of the population vaccinated, I'm willing to bet that even if you provide that number of vaccines to any European country, the numbers will be far lower.
