EU’s Von der Leyen Warns ‘Organise Now’ for Vaccine Arrival as Vaccination to Start in End-December

EU Commission president Ursula Von der Leyen has urged domestic capitals to prepare for organising a massive Covid-19 vaccination effort. “Member states must get ready now. We are talking about millions of syringes, about cold chain, organising vaccination centres, about trained personnel,” she said Wednesday as quoted by EUobserver on Thursday.
According to her, the vaccine is “our ticket out of the pandemic”.
Ursula Von der Leyen said the first EU citizens might be vaccinated by the end of December.
