COVID-19 vaccine sent to all EU member states

The first COVID-19 vaccines have been sent to all EU member states at the same time.

The first vaccinations in the EU will be made in a few days, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, tweeted.

The European Commission on Monday admitted a vaccine from Pfizer / BioNTech following a positive assessment from the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

I’m moved to see the first #COVID19 vaccines shipped to all EU countries, at the same time.

In a few days, the first Europeans will be vaccinated.
Vaccines will be available for all soon.

Together, we will overcome the pandemic. https://t.co/PMEV2fAi4q
