COVID: EU 'confident' of herd immunity by summer
The European Commission says its coronavirus vaccine drive is now on course to secure 70% inoculation of the EU's adult population by mid-July.
The European Union's vaccine task force chief on Sunday said the bloc would be able to
produce enough vaccines to achieve herd immunity of the EU's adult population by the middle of July.
"We are confident that we will be able to produce a sufficient number of vaccines to achieve the goal of collective immunity, which means that 70% of the adult population would have been vaccinated by mid-July," European Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said.
The commissioner made the comments in an interview with the Greek weekly newspaper
To Vima.
Enough doses to meet target
Breton wrote on Twitter that the bloc "will have the doses needed to fulfill the EU Vaccines Task Force target."
