European President, Ursula von der Leyen said yesterday, the
25th November 2020, that the first European citizens might be
vaccinated before the end of December.
In an address to the European Parliament, she said there is, finally, a light at the end of the tunnel and that EU member states should start
to distribute vaccines.
“What counts are vaccinations. The Member States must get ready now. We are talking about millions of syringes, we
are talking about cold chains, we are talking about organising vaccination
centres, we are talking about trained personnel that is there. You have it all. It has to be prepared.”
The EU signed a deal with Moderna, on Wednesday the 25th
November to secure 160 million doses of the US biotech’s company vaccine, which
is found to be 94.5% effective at protection against COVID -19.
Moderna, Pfizer-BioNtech and Oxford – Astra Zeneca are
submitting data for their vaccines to the European Union.
Excellent and hopeful news about the salvation of mankind
from this deadly disease.
