“We are now at a stage where 50% of the world’s population has been fully vaccinated. And Europe has helped with more than 1.7 billion doses, which I think have been exported to 165 countries. But I have said it before and I have said it in my opening speech today. delivery is not enough, we need to make sure we really have vaccinations, “he said at a global conference of health ministers in France sent by EU services.
Kyriakides pointed out that the European Commission is working on it.
– We are now preparing a vaccine support package, especially for Africa, where the vaccination rate is still very low, he emphasized.
In addition, Kyriakides noted that the European Commission has worked very closely with EU Member States, manufacturers and the COVAX initiative to ensure that COVID-19 vaccines can be distributed proactively in emergencies.
In November 2021, Kyriakides reported that about half of the COVID-19 vaccines manufactured in the European Union were exported. In December 2021, the European Union set a new target of having 70% of the world’s population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-2022.
