The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said on Monday, December 6, that 44% of the world’s population was vaccinated against coronavirus infection.
“Currently, 44% of the world’s population is vaccinated,” she said in her video message.
Most of the vaccines made were provided by Europe, von der Leyen said.
“We are stepping up our efforts to support Africa, where vaccinations are lower than in other parts of the world,” said the head of the European Commission.
She highlighted that the current goal is to vaccinate 70% of the world’s population by mid-2022.
On December 4, scientists from the UK Emergency Management Scientific Advisory Group concluded that the coronavirus would pose a threat until at least 2026.
At the same time, if measures for vaccination, epidemiological control and global containment of the spread of infection are not effective enough, these periods may increase.
On November 30, the head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, said that the number of people vaccinated against coronavirus in Russia exceeded 70 million.
The Russian authorities, against the backdrop of a worsening epidemiological situation, urge citizens to get vaccinated in order to protect their health and take care of their loved ones. Russians are vaccinated for free. Five vaccines against coronavirus have been registered in the country: Sputnik V, Sputnik Light, EpiVacCorona, EpiVacCorona-N and KoviVac.
