European Commission launches EU Vaccines Strategy and joint COVID-19 vaccine procurement
On June 17, 2020, the European Commission - with Stella Kyriakides as Commissioner for Health and Food Safety - presented the EU Vaccines Strategy, committing the bloc to centrally negotiate Advance Purchase Agreements so that all member states could obtain COVID-19 vaccines at the same time on the same terms. The Commission used about EUR 2.7 billion from the Emergency Support Instrument as down-payments and ultimately secured access to billions of doses across multiple manufacturers, with member states receiving hundreds of millions of doses and Team Europe sharing over 530 million doses internationally. The joint approach pooled purchasing power and aimed to prevent intra-EU competition for scarce supply.
