SIR – While the EU is behaving with its usual arrogance, ineptitude and lack of good faith over vaccine supplies, two wrongs do not make a right. Once the most vulnerable groups in Britain have been vaccinated, we should be the better person and accept a reduction in contracted supplies from AstraZeneca. It is surely better if the vaccine is used for the vulnerable in other countries rather than heathy UK residents under the age of 60. As a relatively healthy, 52-year-old I would prefer “my” future dose to go to someone elsewhere in greater need. Dr Glyn Jones Grayshott, Hampshire SIR – The UK showed great faith in the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine by buying a large number of doses early. The EU could have done the same, were it not mired in bureaucracy. I applaud Pascal Soriot, the CEO of AstraZeneca, for explaining the position so clearly, and for his company’s efforts to provide as many doses as possible despite the three-month delay in the EU signing a deal. Eurocrats must find it galling to see the independent UK doing so well. Jonathan Mann Gunnislake, Cornwall SIR – I suspect that if the boot were on the other foot, we would be told that we had made our own bed in choosing Brexit and would have to wait.
