“In the coming weeks and months … obviously there will be a demand spike and obviously people are preparing for it. In many cases, we have told our international partners that … COVID rates are going up in India, we are expanding our own vaccination ambit, so we are sure you will understand that at this time we have to purpose it much more focused at where we are.”

“We are concerned with the new reports of restrictions out of the EU - or potential restrictions out of the EU - and we will be continuing to work with our counterparts, including direct contact from me to the highest levels of the European Commission, in order to ensure that Canada's supply of vaccines is not in danger, is not interrupted.”

“I think Europe and many other countries around the world are, or at least the population perceives, that they are in an endless cycle of epidemics going up, and epidemics going down, and that cycle is accompanied by lockdowns and subsequent relaxations. That puts a lot of pressure on the population to keep the morale high, it is not easy … and I think that the only solution to stop that endless cycle is going to be the vaccination programme.”

“There are clues that point to so-called bazaars where additional agreements between member states and pharmaceutical companies were made. Malta will receive three times as many doses per capita as Bulgaria until the end of July. The Netherlands would not only receive more doses of vaccine per capita until the end of June than Germany, but almost twice as many as Croatia. This is in clear contradiction to the political goals of the EU.”

“I can understand that this isn't fast enough for many, and of course I see that there are others offering vaccines and who expect favourable political conduct in return. But I am firmly convinced that despite the delay that nobody is pleased about … we can finally start delivering a large number of vaccines to the western Balkans.”

“Russia will gladly take up any issue that can divide the EU. This [EU's slowness in its vaccination program] is a great opportunity to show that Russia is better organised, better mobilised ... Russian suspicions that the US is using the EU to dominate Europe are deeply rooted. By undermining EU unity, Russia undermines EU capacity to obey the US and any such opportunity is seen by Kremlin as a great opportunity that should be taken.”

“The arrival of vaccine is a moment of great hope, but it potentially also is a moment where we lose concentration. I really am very concerned that ... we think we're through this. We're not, and countries are going to lurch back into third and fourth surges if we're not careful. We should not waste the hope that vaccines bring ... by dropping our guard in other areas.”

“We're seeing certainly real-time vaccine diplomacy start to play out, with China in the lead, in terms of being able to manufacture vaccines within China and make them available to others, largely low- and middle-income countries around the world. When you're making diplomatic decisions in two or three years, you may have fond memories of who was there to help you in the middle of a crisis.”

“You're not protecting your citizens; you're giving your citizens an illusion that you're protecting them. You need a big push to get lots of people vaccinated as quickly as possible to greatly reduce the number of newly infected people, and that's the way to dampen down the pandemic and get it under control. We do see middle-income countries trying to enter into vaccine deals. But if we take Moderna as an example, it already has promised 93 percent of the supply for 2021 that it can produce to rich countries. If you're not a rich country, you can try to negotiate with Moderna, but you're going to be [waiting] for the next 12 months until it can deliver anything to you.”
