No. The production of AZ vaccine in the UK would stop dead as the AZ vaccine uses EU sourced ingredients and the production facilities are working 'hand to mouth' with little or no stock built up. On top of that, no Belgium produced Pfizer vaccines for the UK.
Nobody would gain from arbitrarily export controlling raw materials
