The EU and the WHO

The EU and the WHO said yesterday that they will spend €40 million over the next three years to help Ukraine and five other former Soviet republics to roll out vaccinations against Covid-19. WHO Europe Director Hans Kluge said progress is slow in the EU. Vaccinations are taking place in only 29 out of the 37 countries in the European region. He said: “Today, 7.8 million people have completed their immunization series. That is equivalent to only 1.5% of the population of those 29 countries.” Ukraine hopes to start vaccinating next week.
