PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron and other EU leaders are not being sore losers over Britain's faster vaccine roll-out but are moving at an appropriately safer pace, the president's office said on Wednesday.

Britain is well ahead of France and other EU countries in the pace of its roll-out, having approved the Oxford/AstraZeneca shot earlier.
