新聞標題： Coronavirus: Vaccine supply fears grow amid EU export threat

新聞出處：https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55805903

新聞內容：

The EU has warned Covid vaccine producers they must deliver agreed supplies, amid fears reductions could seriously hamper its inoculation drive.
AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech have both said production problems mean they cannot supply the expected numbers.
歐盟已經警告兩家疫苗製造廠商他們必須繳出協議的供給量，擔心疫苗產量不足的問題可能會對接種意願造成嚴重阻礙。
AstraZeneca and Pfizer兩家都表明生產問題意味著他們無法提供期待的量。

The EU warned it could restrict exports of vaccines made in the bloc, with Germany's health minister demanding "fair distribution".
The UK's vaccine minister warned of "the dead end of vaccine nationalism".
AstraZeneca is mainly produced in the UK, while the UK's supplies of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine come from the company's Belgian plant.
歐盟警告它將對歐盟區內生產的疫苗限制出口，而德國衛生部長則要求「公平分配」。英國的疫苗部長則警告此為「疫苗國家主義的盡頭」。
AstraZeneca主要是在英國生產，然Pfizer的英國疫苗供應廠則是來自其位於比利時的廠房。

Vaccine supply has become a critical issue as nations seek to stem high infection rates.
Separately, the German health ministry joined AstraZeneca in strongly denyingsome reports in German media of a lower efficacy rate for its vaccine among older people.
疫苗供給在國家試圖扳平高傳染率時已經成為重要的議題。不同的是，德國衛生部門和AstraZeneca同時強烈否認某些德國媒體報導稱其疫苗對於老年人的有效率較低。

Last week, AstraZeneca told the EU it was falling behind on its supply targetbecause of production problems and Pfizer-BioNTech has also said supplies of its vaccine will be lower.
In response, EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides has now said companies making Covid vaccines in the bloc will have to "provide early notification whenever they want to export vaccines to third countries".
上週AstraZeneca告知歐盟其供應進度落後因為製造問題，而Pfizer也同樣告知其疫苗量將會少於原本。對此，歐盟健康專員Stella Kyriakides說，歐盟內的疫苗廠商將需要「提早告知，當其疫苗將要出口到第三國時」

She said the 27-member EU bloc would "take any action required to protect itscitizens".
German Health Minister Jens Spahn backed her call, saying: "This is not aboutEU first, this is about Europe's fair share."
Chancellor Angela Merkel told the virtual version of the annual World Economic Forum, usually held in Davos, there should be a "fair distribution" across the world.
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen earlier told forum: "Europe invested billions to help develop the world's first Covid-19 vaccines. And now, the companies must deliver. They must honour their obligations."
歐盟健康專員表示，歐盟27國將會「採取任何必要行動以保護其27國公民。」德國衛生部長Jens Spahn則表示：「這不是歐盟優先，而是歐洲的公平分配」
總理Angela Merkel 則在一場通常辦在Davos 的經濟峰會上表示，「應該要公平的分配」在世界上。
歐盟執委會主席Ursula von der Leyen稍早則在該峰會上指出，歐盟投資幾十億協助開發出世界第一隻的疫苗；現在，這些廠商必須交貨，他們必須要履行義務。

The row could affect supplies to the UK of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Responding to the EU's comments, the UK's Minister for Covid Vaccine Deployment Nadhim Zahawi said on Tuesday that supplies were "tight" and warned againstwhat he called "the dead end of vaccine nationalism", adding: "No-one is safeuntil the whole world is safe."
He said he was confident the UK would receive enough doses to meet its targets - a first dose to 15 million of the most vulnerable by mid-February and to offer all adults their first dose by autumn.
The EU has already faced criticism for the slow rollout of vaccines, which itbuys on behalf of all member states.
這爭論可能影響供給給英國的Pfizer疫苗。回應歐盟的聲明，英國疫苗研發部長Nadhim Zahawi則表示，供給十分有限，並警告其所聲稱的「疫苗國家主義的盡頭」，並同時表示「沒有人是安全的直到全世界的人都接種完疫苗」。同時亦說他十分有信心英國能拿到足夠的量已達到其目標，就是在2/15以前拿到1千5百萬劑給最脆弱的族群，並在秋天以前給所有成年人。
歐盟已經因為疫苗的緩慢上市而遭受批評，因其代表歐盟全體成員國購買疫苗。

心得：有興趣的自己再往下看，寫的蠻詳細的，大致上說歐盟已經在去年8月和AstraZeneca簽署總量3億劑的協議，並附加1億劑的選擇權。同時歐盟希望在它一批準疫苗使用時，即可在三月前開始配送約8千萬劑到歐盟各國；然而Reuters報導指出AstraZeneca在第一季大約只能交出3千萬劑，減少約6成，雖然官方還未證實。

同時歐盟也下訂6億劑的Pfizer，而已經開始施打，預期在今年8月以前完成全歐盟70%成人的接種

看完只想說...我們真的能在年中以前優先買到疫苗給醫護人員施打，讓他們可以安心面對疫情嗎...？又或者該讓國產的高端和聯亞加速一下，好讓醫護人員能夠安心替我們守護家園。
