Eurovax
The European Medicines Agency has authorised three vaccines; Pfizer/BioNTech, Oxford/AstraZeneca and Modern. But the inoculation program has only given 5.5% of Europeans their fist jab (in the UK, that's 31%).
It isn't good enough.
So Denmark and Austria are looking to get more doses outside the EU auspices. And Hungary and Slovakia have authorised the Russian Sputnik V vaccine.
The problem seems to be the Brussels bureaucracy, which isn't agile enough for the fast response that a pandemic requires.
And then there's the attitude to the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. France said "Only for under 65s"; now it's "under 75s".
The EU has dismally failed in the vaccine rollout.
Must do better.
