Revised contract addresses concerns over costly glut of unwanted shots as public health threat wanes

Brussels and Pfizer agree deal to cut supply of Covid vaccines

The European Commission and Pfizer have agreed a deal to cut the number of Covid-19 vaccines supplied to the EU, resolving tensions between the majority of member states over paying for shots that may not be used. 
After months of negotiations 24 member states signed up to the amended contract. Poland and Hungary did not support the new deal, while Romania is expected to sign next week. The holdouts had complained that it was not a good use of stretched healthcare budgets, given the fading threat from Covid-19.
