European Union Financial Services Commissioner Mairead McGuinness has said there must be a global focus placed on where vaccines are produced and on the supply chains of their components.
In an interview on the BBC's Andrew Marr programme, Ms McGuinness said delays in deliveries of the AstraZeneca vaccine had been hugely disappointing.
EU leaders will meet at a virtual summit on Thursday and she said the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has said everything is on the table.
She said the EU has been accused of vaccine nationalism but insisted it has taken an international approach. Ms McGuinness refused to be drawn on the question of the EU banning the export of vaccines to the UK, saying that decision is for EU leaders
