After a very progressive start of the vaccination, the block achieved a rhythm that allowed it to reach the goal. However, this announcement hides the differences that exist between the countries of the European Union: while some have more than 70% vaccinated, others are still below that figure.
Despite these inequalities, the leader highlighted the joint campaign, which has allowed at least 255 million people to receive two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca or Moderna vaccines, or the Johnson & Johnson single-dose.
