More than 78% of the inhabitants of the European Union, excluding children, were vaccinated against COVID-19 as of the end of 2021.
This was announced on Monday by Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission:
“Exactly a year ago, vaccination against COVID-19 began in Europe. We’ve come a long way. More than 78% of the EU adult population is now vaccinated. The growing rate of spread of the coronavirus, especially the omicron strain, makes vaccination even more important … We have enough doses so that everyone can be vaccinated and receive a booster dose of the vaccine. “
According to the head of the EC, vaccination remains the best way to fight the pandemic. There are currently four COVID-19 vaccines approved in the European Union: Pfizer / BioNtech, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. But already in the new year, supplies of another vaccination drug will begin – from the American company Novavax. The vaccine was approved for use in the EU by the European Medicines Agency at an extraordinary meeting on 20 December. RIA News…
