The European Medicines Agency has authorized several new coronavirus vaccine plants, as the EU faces a spat with the UK over vaccine exports.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) on Friday approved several new coronavirus vaccine production sites in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The sites will increase vaccine manufacturing and capacity in the European Union, as the bloc faces widespread shortages.

New sites 'a welcome step' for boosted vaccine production, EU health chief says European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Stella Kryiakides called the approvals of more production plants "a welcome step in increasing EU production capacity: citizens' access to vaccinations must accelerate, every day and every dose counts."
