While I agree we should have had the initial stocks of vaccine, just in case, But shouldn't the bureaucrats have put a cancel clause into the contract?

If they had initially arranged a cancel clause into the contract, then having found they did not need the whole order, they could have put a stop to the order.
/// In recent weeks, Germany has successfully negotiated a cut in its order for swine flu jabs by 30 per cent. Other countries are still negotiating.///

If Germany had a cancellation clause, then they wouldn't need to //negotiate/// they would simply cancel. Same as the other countries.
I have no doubt that this government will be negotiating as well.

There is indeed a cancel clause in one of the contracts (albeit the smaller one) and there is potential to sell this on to other countries (or indeed keep it for the next few years)
Yes, with hindsight, a cancel clause would have been ideal - but in times of potential national emergency, decisions that are wrong will often be made - lets hope that we can learn from them.
