European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday that AstraZeneca would deliver nine million more doses of its Covid vaccine to the EU than expected, or forty million doses in total, a figure up 30 %.

The company, which has suffered the wrath of European leaders for several days because of major production delays, "will start deliveries a week earlier than expected" and "will also expand its manufacturing capacity in Europe," wrote Ursula von der Leyen on Twitter.
