Until now, the goal has always been to have 70 percent of adult Europeans vaccinated by the end of the summer. This deadline can therefore be pushed forward thanks to accelerated vaccine deliveries.
Praise for Belgium
“We had difficulties at the start of our vaccination campaign, but our broad vaccine portfolio and strong and reliable suppliers like Pfizer / BioNTech allowed us to turn the tide,” said von der Leyen. The main vaccine for the European campaign is made in Puurs, she said. According to Von der Leyen, Belgium is a “vaccine powerhouse”.
