BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union figures show that the 27-nation bloc has allowed some 34 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine exports over the past weeks, despite shortages at home as it continues to struggle to get its vaccine drive up to speed. The EU said Thursday that over 9.1 million doses were exported to the United Kingdom at a time when diplomatic tensions rose over vaccine exports and the implementation of the Brexit divorce agreement. The exports are almost as high as the roughly 45 million doses that have been distributed within the EU as of last week.
