Quote from that article regarding indemnification clause:

A report has revealed that AstraZeneca has been given protection from future product liability claims related to its COVID-19 vaccine candidate. According to a senior executive who spoke to Reuters, the company has made this arrangement with most of the countries where it has formed supply agreements.

“This is a unique situation where we as a company simply cannot take the risk if in… four years the vaccine is showing side effects,” said Ruud Dobber, a member of AstraZeneca’s senior executive team, as quoted by Reuters. “In the contracts we have in place, we are asking for indemnification. For most countries it is acceptable to take that risk on their shoulders because it is in their national interest.”

Although Dobber reportedly emphasised that safety was a top priority for AstraZeneca when making the vaccine, the countries remain unnamed as of yet.
