1 Billion Covid-19 vaccines to be received by EU in end of September
The EU is on track to receive enough Covid-19 vaccination doses by the end of July to inoculate 70 per cent of its adult population, and the member states can join its travel certificate system from mid-June, the European Commission has announced.
Delivery estimates released to EU leaders as they convened in Brussels showed the bloc was on course by the end of September, to receive more than a billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines more than enough to fully vaccinate its population of 446 million.
In a joint conclusions the 27 national leaders noted that vaccination campaigns had “accelerated across the EU” and that this would “allow for a gradual reopening of our societies”.
46 per cent of the eligible EU population will have received at least one dose of a vaccine, by the end of May, as per the figures from European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, she said, expected a decision by the European Medicines Agency on whether to clear the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine in use for 12-15-year-olds soon.
