The UK government should do the same as it was tax payers money that funded most of it.

Also EU nations may have invoked emergency powers/legislation to block exports. It will be interesting to see where this one ends up
They don't have to disclose any other contract. They would be covered by an NDA anyway.
The EU did not write and guaranteed supply clause into their agreement so by requesting best effort, they already knew the risks and constraints.
The EU haven't a chance.

. It will also send a message to Brussels that bullying behaviour to the UK damages them a lot more than us.We should then send vaccines direct to the member states for free.

Incidentally contracts don’t have associated NDA’s, just commercially sensitive sections which is why the Government publishes contracts which may contain redacted elements that are commercially sensitive

Lifting lockdown brings surge of activity for UK companies - PMI"The preliminary "flash" reading of the UK Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 60.0 in April from 56.4 in March, its highest reading since November 2013. A Reuters poll of economists had pointed to a smaller rise to 58.2.
The survey added to signs that the world's fifth-biggest economy, which shrank by nearly 10% in 2020, is shaping up for a rapid recovery helped by the fast rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations."
