We all lose in such situations but AstraZeneca gets over 70% of its vaccine ingredients from the EU. In contrast, we supply the EU with just 17% of the ingredients used to make its vaccines.

The UK is indeed one of the suppliers for the Pfizer vaccine (lipid nanoparticles) but Merck now also produces the same ingredient in the EU.
