If it is up to each nation, that's too bad. We should be treating adults as adults, telling them "here's the information: about 30 people had bloodclots out of 5,000,000 having received the vaccine (source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56397592). We're not sure if any of those 30 are linked to the vaccine. If those risks seem acceptable to you, here's the vaccine."

Well I think the other side of the calculation is a probability that you may be able to get vaccinated with the Biontech vaccine if you wait.
I'm in the US (New Jersey specifically, which has done terribly with the roll out), so maybe it's different in the EU, but at least here we don't have an over-abundance of vaccine doses. Eliminating one of the vaccines currently limits vaccine supply in most places.
