On the point of whether the EU has ordered enough vaccine does I'd say you were correct.
The EU commission officer has stated that technically it's okay for the Germans to do a deal because the supplies will be made AFTER the EU has had their full allocation. So, Germany or the UK would not have been able to have had any extra at the same time, never mind before the rest of the EU. The principle of the agreement is to stop rich members of the programme getting supplies before everyone else.
