This fact contributed to a growing dissatisfaction within the European Union.
Romania will thus receive 50 percent of the planned quantities this week, and deliveries will increase gradually, so that Bucharest will receive the agreed quantities only at the end of March, Deputy Health Minister Andrej Baciu told Reuters.
The situation is similar in Poland, which received 176.000 doses on Monday, or 50 percent less than expected.
The Czech government is also slowing down the vaccination campaign due to procurement problems.
"We must expect that there will be a reduction in the number of vaccinations in the next three weeks," Health Minister Jan Blatný told reporters.
The delivery of the Pfizer vaccine will be lower by 15% this week, and by 30% next week.
Pfizer pharmaceutical company told Bulgaria and Poland that it would make up for the missing doses.
However, the Danish Serum Institute announced that 50 percent less doses this week will lead to a 10 percent reduction in the first quarter.
Officials in these countries say the reduction in supplies undermines their efforts to implement mass vaccination.
Italy threatened to submit a law suit to Pfizer on Wednesday. Today, Hungary issued a preliminary approval for the use of AstraZeneca vaccines against the coronavirus and the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, and from Budapest they call on Brussels to exert pressure on Pfizer to adhere to the delivery plan.
"We would be pleased if the European Commission took steps to ensure that Pfizer and other manufacturers change the quantity of deliveries as soon as possible," said Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Gergely Gulyas pointed out.
Canada and Switzerland have also experienced problems due to reduced deliveries of Pfizer vaccines.

How do you know if its true scientific evidence? Are you an epidemiologists? I doubt it. Your “true evidence” is sourced from the media. The same media that tells Americans everything is great now Joe is in charge.
Norway registered 32 deaths after vaccination. That’s not Baba Vanga, but the Norwegian authorities. Then Sweden also registered deaths while in Israel some suffered partial facial paralysis.
The problem with US vaccines it has been rushed at warp speed to beat the Russians and Chinese. Remember the test kits for the virus? WHO recommended a specific variety but it was Chinese so your CDC decided to develop their own. It was a total failure losing valuable time and now the virus is out of control in the US or maybe it’s another story from Baba Vanga.

BTW, Baba Vanga, the batch of Moderna vaccine given in California has be proven to be safe and effective. You really must up your game if you wish to remain in the employ of Uncle Vlad.

We can only rely on true scientific evidence, not rumors or fake news. We do know the new variants are much more contagious than the first strain of covid-19, the only thing that spreads faster is the false reports that you continually make.

Pfizer is listed on the stock exchange and as such it has NO responsibility to anyone except its stock holders.
If you have the cash they will be very happy to sell it to you. The problem here is that the US pharmaceuticals can’t match their rhetoric – they simply cannot produce sufficient amounts and provide timely delivery.
Plus, your non pseudo vaccines from the US are showing some very questionable results with deaths following vaccination being very high.
California had to stop using Moderna vaccine as it had “issues”.

Zero dissatisfaction in the deep south of Serbia. Fresh goat milk, lots of slanina, and pasulj keep such illnesses away without the need for vaccines or even face masks.

Pfizer’s first responsibility is to the US. Hungry, under the dictator, Victor Orban, will have to fend for itself. Let V.O. ask his home boy Trump for help. Ha, ha, ha. All other populists, including Vucic, will have to move to the back of the queue or take their chances with pseudo vaccines from Russia or China..
