AstraZeneca's vaccine contract with the UK is based on 'best efforts,' just like its deal with a frustrated EU.

"First come, first served" they say.

But:
"Soriot confirmed to La Repubblica that his company had agreed to supply the UK before other markets, saying it was "fair enough" because the UK had reached an agreement with AstraZeneca earlier than the EU.
But the UK's official contract is actually dated August 28, one day after the EU's contract.

So not quite fair to say at least.. best efforts based on national priorities in a pandemic? Go on blaming the EU for "being late", and praise England for being "very special" and "exceptionalist". Once more humanity is not man enough to rise above petty nationalism.
