In the European Union, 70% of adults have received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine / Article

The European Commission said on Tuesday that 70% of adults in the European Union had received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine. As the President of the European Commission, Urzula von der Leiena, told the media, thanks to these figures, Europeans are among the world leaders.

However, at the same time she urged states and citizens not to be cautious in relation to the virus, adding that the Covid-19 delta strain is very dangerous. Around 57% of adults in the European Union are now fully vaccinated.

Vaccination rates still vary widely across the European Union. In Romania, for example, just over 30% of the adult population have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to estimates by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. In Denmark, on the other hand, 60% of adults have been fully vaccinated, but 84% have received at least one dose so far.

However, in recent weeks, the delta type, which is more contagious than previous types, has seen a sharp rise in infections in many parts of the world.

“The Delta variant is very dangerous. That is why I call for everyone who has this opportunity to be vaccinated. Both for their own health and to protect others, ”said EC President Urzula von der Leiena.
