The global race to buy coronavirus vaccine
Several vaccines are awaiting approval by health authorities. But even before the official go-ahead was given, the United States and European countries have signed contracts and secured the rights to billions of doses from several companies, including Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson, CureVac, SanofiGSK.

New sets of challenges are getting created in real-time for both vaccine manufacturers and buyers. Who is responsible if the manufacturer struggles to meet the obligations of their existing contracts, which is likely to lead to a high volume of insurance claims.

- Limited transparency on claims and service credits
- Lack of vaccine performance information
- Unclear responsibilities in supplier disputes
- No tracking of spend as opposed to the time plan
- Contingency or risk mitigation plans missing
- No notifications of terms, rights or obligations
- Undefined handover processes
