Amid a deepening row, the [heavily redacted] EU-AstraZeneca contract has been published

The contract contains over a dozen uses of the phrase “best reasonable efforts”, and has redacted any mention of costs.

There are numerous references to AstraZeneca making its 'Best Reasonable Efforts' to deliver the vaccine amounts promised.

There is no reference to the UK factories being used only for the British market; but this could be in the UK contract with AstraZeneca.

The head of Ireland's vaccine taskforce said it's possible that the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine could be administered by GPs if the AstraZeneca delivery is delayed.
