Coronavirus live news: UK foreign secretary says EU threat to block vaccine exports needs explaining
Dominic Raab warns Ursula von der Leyen ‘the world’s watching’ after threat to block supplies to countries that are not reciprocating or with high vaccination rates * EU threatens to halt vaccine exports to UK unless it gets ‘fair share’ * AstraZeneca jab: EU regulator ‘firmly convinced’ benefits outweigh risks * Why home-produced vaccine hasn’t helped India, Russia and China rollouts * Australia among countries ‘blocking vaccine access’ for PNG * UK coronavirus updates – live 6.04pm GMT GREECE on Wednesday urged doctors to volunteer their services to the state health system as it struggles to contain fast-spreading coronavirus infections. Reuters reports: “We are at the most critical juncture of the pandemic,” Health Minister VASSILIS KIKILIAS told a weekly briefing, calling for general practitioners and pneumonologists to volunteer to work in state hospitals.

And there’s a lot of evidence emerging now that is reassuring that there is no overall excess signal or increased risk. And I expect, without prejudice to their absolute findings, those to be the final conclusions of the EMA and [Britain’s] MHRA in due course. Continue reading...
