Safe vaccines for Europeans - #StrongerTogether  
The European Commission has secured up to 4.6 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines so far and negotiations are underway for additional doses. Vaccine deliveries to EU countries have increased steadily and vaccination is gathering pace. The Commission is also working with industry to step up vaccine manufacturing capacity. 

Vaccine data December 2021

The EU has reached a crucial milestone with 70% of the adult population now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. In total, over 256 million adults in the EU have now received a full vaccine course. The Commission and EU countries have pledged close to €3 billion to COVAX, the global initiative aimed at ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, and are supporting vaccination campaigns in partner countries.
