EC President Ursula von Der Leyen: We still have work to do
The European Union has managed to vaccinate around 70% of the population against the coronavirus, thus reaching the target set at the beginning of the year.
"70% of adults in the EU are fully vaccinated. I want to thank all those people who have made this great achievement possible ", said the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in a Twitter post.
The global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic is now waged through the battle with the Delta variant, the most contagious mutation of the coronavirus.
Although the European bloc reached its vaccination target, the situation continues to be different for some countries.
Malta has fully vaccinated over 90% of its adult citizens, while Ireland and Portugal have also immunized more than 80% of the adult population.
But there are still some countries that are behind with this process, especially in Eastern Europe. Bulgaria has fully vaccinated only one fifth of its citizens and Romania about 30% of adults. Croatia, Latvia, Slovenia and Slovakia have immunized about half of those over the age of 18.
