The EU aims to speed up the process of vaccinating against the coronavirus worldwide and end the pandemic in 2022
An EU source told reporters after the G7 summit.
“The EU insisted (during the G7 summit) on the need to accelerate access to vaccines… There is a clear objective to vaccinate the world population and end the pandemic in 2022”, – he said.
The European Commission says it is possible to vaccinate 70% of adults in the EU this summer and wants to speed up the distribution of vaccines against COVID-19 around the world.
The EU also claims to be the largest supplier of coronavirus vaccines to third countries, having already exported some 270 million doses.
The EU also intends to support the development of vaccine production around the world – for example, it wants to invest about 1 billion euros in Africa.
