The decision makes it the only country in Europe not to authorise doses of the Oxford-produced jab for use. The Swiss medical regulator claimed there was a lack of data to reach conclusions on the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. Approval of the jab had been widely expected by many in Switzerland.
Notably not in the EU or part of the EU vaccination plan.

Toning down the nationalist rhetoric and reading the FT analysis they added:

SwissMedic said it was specifically waiting on results from two further clinical trials in North and South America. Once the data is available, it said it could come to a final decision swiftly.

Also not specified is whether they have any and when they’d be due to get delivery. Otherwise there’s no rush.
