From Morning Report, 7:35 am on 28 January 2021

Pfizer is warning the European Union's new rules around exports of Covid-19 vaccines could disrupt supplies to New Zealand.

In a statement last night, the company said it is committed to delivering 1.5 million doses of its vaccine here over the course of this year.

It's raising concerns over possible EU export restrictions or other trade barriers.
