A critical situation with vaccination has developed in Europe
The EU is sorely lacking capacity to produce the Pfizer/BioNTech anti-Covid vaccine approved by Brussels.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, Kommersant writes.
“Two weeks after the start of the coronavirus vaccination campaign in the European Union, the situation there still remains close to critical. Thousands of people are in intensive care, and the authorities of a number of countries do not rule out a third wave of quarantine measures,” the newspaper reports.
It is noted that the UK was the first among Western European countries to begin vaccination, where more than 1,3 million vaccinations have been administered so far. Next come Italy and Germany (more than 600 thousand in each of these countries). Between 100 and 300 thousand doses have been administered in Spain, Poland, Denmark and Romania.
“True, these statistics do not take into account the number of vaccinated citizens, but the number of vaccinations given to them. Meanwhile, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccination involves two doses of the drug. At the same time, the capacity to produce the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine approved in the EU is sorely lacking, and in most European countries the vaccine is available only to older people and health workers,” the publication writes.
As PolitNavigator reported, the Albanian prime minister complained that The EU did not help with the anti-Covid vaccine in difficult times.
