Nonsense. This isn’t really about countries exporting/not exporting. These vaccine deals are with private companies who produce their product around the world. Just because vaccines are manufactured in a specific country doesn’t make them property of that country.

Whichever country is contractually at the front of the line will have their order fulfilled first/according to the terms of the contracts.

The EU wasted months negotiating lower prices and then took longer with approvals.

There is no good guy or bad guy (at least until the UK or EU blocks exports preventing execution of the private contracts - at that point the country blocking the exports becomes the bad guy).
