> So far so usual, but the worst problem were the Eastern European countries - they insisted on also keeping AstraZeneca with their 1.78€ a dose

I thought AZ was €5 a dose.

Well, as for EE countries, the largest by population size (EE country that is in EU) is Poland and they (we, I live here) ordered from multiple sources, and AZ isn't the largest one (J&J is, followed closely by Pfizer):

  Janssen Pharmaceutica NV / Johnson&Johnson 16,98 mln
  Pfizer / BioNTec                           16,74 mln
  Astra Zeneca                               16    mln
  CureVac                                     5,65 mln
  Moderna                                     6,69 mln

The biggest issue for me is that I don't think I'll be able to select which vaccine I want to use, I don't like the AZ inferior efficacy compared to mRNA vaccines, not to mention how it handles the SA version of COVID-19 virus.



Nope, AZ was 1.78 a dose while BT was 12€ (of which 2 are needed, so 24€ a person): https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/belgien-politi...
