What if one of the supplier factory burns down, like happened in the (also under-supplied) chips business... But there is no denying that vaccine production is ramping up heavily in EU this month, so we just have to hope that logistics follow.
There's still the problem of want to be vaccinated, which is pretty low among younger age groups. By some models, we'd need 90% of the whole population vaccinated to stop the spread of the so-called British variant. In other words, even 100% of all adults wouldn't be enough.
