European Commissioner for Health and Food safety Stella Kyriakides said in a tweet Monday that the European Commission has decided together with all member states to bring legal proceedings against AstraZeneca PLC, citing the commission's priority to ensure Covid-19 vaccine deliveries.

The move comes after it was reported last week that delivery of AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine to European Union member states didn't meet goals as set out in a contract with the pharmaceutical company.

AstraZeneca didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
