EU nations expect ‘to be able to vaccinate majority by end of June’
he European Union expects to have provided enough coronavirus vaccine supplies to immunise the majority of people in many of its member states by the end of June, it has been reported.
According to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands are expected to be in a position to vaccinate more than 55 per cent of their total populations by that date, according to projections in the memo which is dated April 1.
The EU wants to immunize 70% of adults by the end of the summer, which — depending on the demographics of each member state — corresponds to around 55-60% of total population.
The projections by the European Commission provide some hope that the EU’s vaccination campaign will improve.
It also gives hope the vaccine rollout could help to open up the EU for holidays from the UK.
The commission expects deliveries of vaccines to increase to about 360 million doses this quarter from just over 100 million in the first three months of the year.
The document reveals the exact number of doses that will be available to each government by the end of June.
It also shows that vaccine rollouts in Croatia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria are expected to lag behind, while Denmark and Malta are projected to reach the immunity threshold much sooner.
Last month EU commissioner Thierry Breton told French broadcaster TF1 that he expects the EU’s population of 450 million to achieve immunity by July 14.

The World Health Organisation warned last week that new cases in the WHO European region are increasing in every age group except in people aged 80 and older.
“Only 5 weeks ago, the weekly number of new cases in Europe had dipped to under 1 million, but now the Region’s situation is more worrying than we have seen in several months,” said Dr Dorit Nitzan, regional emergency director for the WHO regional office for Europe.
“There are risks associated with the increased mobility and gatherings over the religious holidays. Many countries are introducing new measures that are necessary and everyone should follow as much as they can.”
The World on Coronavirus lockdown
Dr Hans Kluge, regional director for Europe said the rollout of vaccines was “unacceptably slow” and urged EU member states to speed up the process by ramping up manufacturing and reducing barriers to administering vaccines.
He said: “In past weeks, we’ve seen both remarkable solidarity across borders in the [Europe region] as well as countries hoarding vaccines. Vaccinating health-care workers and the elderly in every country is everybody’s moral responsibility.
“It is vital that we provide the benefit of this global public good to health- and social-care workers.
“While acknowledging the intent of governments to protect their own populations, before the vaccines are extended to other age groups I strongly urge governments to share excess doses of WHO-approved vaccines with COVAX or with countries in need, once health-care workers and the most vulnerable have been vaccinated. Not doing so is self-defeating.”
