Brussels has played down reports that it has launched legal action against AstraZeneca over delays to vaccine doses, Euronews reported.

According to Euronews, on Thursday, Ireland’s health minister said that a “legal case has been initiated by the Commission”.

Stephen Donnelly told Ireland’s parliament the country had joined “as one of the parties to that legal case”, adding that the case was being pursued “specifically around AstraZeneca’s complete failure to meet its delivery and contractual agreements for April, May and June”.
