EU could see first Covid-19 vaccinations in early 2021: health agency

STOCKHOLM, Nov 11, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The first vaccinations in the European
Union against Covid-19 could take place in the first quarter of 2021 in an
optimistic scenario, the head of the EU health agency told AFP on Wednesday.

“I think optimistically first quarter next year, but I can’t be more
precise,” Andrea Ammon, the director of the Stockholm-based European Centre
Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), said in an interview.
