Malta will receive three times more vaccine doses relative to its population by the end of June in comparison to Bulgaria, while the Netherlands will receive twice as much as Croatia, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz warned at an extraordinary press conference.

There are clues that point to so-called bazaars where additional agreements between member states and pharmaceutical companies were made,” Chancellor Kurz added, saying that vaccine deliveries do not follow the per capita quota system.

According to him, if the trend continued countries like Bulgaria would be able to vaccinate their populations not earlier than the end of summer or even in autumn, BTA reported.
