The EU said it was on track for 70% vaccination targets at the end of summer

Brussels: The European Union is on track to reach the target fully vaccinate at least 70% of the adult population at the end of summer given that the percentage of 18 and more now has received the first dose, the European Commission said on Tuesday.
EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides said the block had reached an important milestone of 70% of adults after receiving the first dose and 57% was fully vaccinated.
The projection shows that the EU will achieve its goal at the end of summer, he said in a statement.
The UE vaccine campaign departed for a slow start to people such as Britain and the United States because of delays in sending vaccine doses, especially those from Astrazeneca, which launched legal proceedings.
However, after sharp ramp-up in stock from the second quarter, especially the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine, European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen said the EU was now among world leaders.
“The catch-up process has been very successful – but we need to follow efforts,” he said.
“The Delta variant is very dangerous.
Therefore I call everyone – who has the opportunity – for vaccinated.
For their own health and to protect others,” he continued.
