International SOS (password protected site) reports that many European Union (EU) member countries began their COVID-19 vaccination programs on 26-27 December. The countries include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Hungary and Slovakia.
The vaccination campaigns started after the EU’s medicine regulator approved the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine on 21 December.
The EU has ordered 300 million doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine (enough for 150 million people) as well as hundreds of millions of doses of yet-to-be-approved vaccines from AstraZeneca, Sanofi-GSK, Johnson & Johnson, CureVac and Moderna.
