AstraZeneca said it has not pulled out of vaccine talks with the European Union and plans to meet EU officials later today in Brussels.

The comments came after EU officials said earlier that the company had pulled out of the meeting to discuss delayed vaccine commitments to the 27-nation bloc. The talks were due to be the third in as many days.
