It is difficult for me to provide more readability to general practitioners, and the European Union is working on faster AstraZeneca delivery ". Seven million doses of PfizerBioNtech are expected, and the other doses of Astra Zeneca are expected, which arrive late. There remain 4.5 million second doses, which are available but have not yet been injected, which had been put in stock to provide for the second dose injection“¦. Roll-up vaccination is slowed down in France due to late delivery, but also due to non-routing of vaccine doses to general practitioners and certain pharmacists. If vaccination is slowed down too much, variants may appear and will resist these known vaccines. Source: Ministry of Health, DARES
